If you had a buyer will to pay half of $500k you would have sellers come out all over the place, you tripping if you dont think a quarter mil would get sales ripping
Understood. There's only 8 of them in existence that we've been able to verify. Another 1-2 who claim to have one but aren't responsive to communication and we haven't verified.
Of the 8 in existence, all but one say they're not interested in selling. Honestly the $500k label is probably just a symbolic way of saying its not for sale. I've had the Winklevoss Twins email asking to buy, and nobody would let theirs go to them. Deep pockets is an understatement for those two.
I received a note from a motivated Hedge Fund manager offering $300,000 for a copy. Currently reaching out to him to see if that offer still stands.

And why would it matter who JDBound is? Its not a secret btw.
Sorry about that. I wasn't sure who he was. I just always try to be discreet in referring to who has copies, etc. Didn't mean to imply it was a secret or that he isn't already known. I did verify though that he wasn't the one I was thinking of. So there is 1 other individual willing to sell at this time. His last number was $70k. But that was a year ago.

There's more than 8. For obvious reasons not everyone you ask will tell you they have one. If that was the way you deduced mintage and the $ amount people are willing to sell for than you would think only 3 or 4 casascius loaded 25btc coins exist. Not a lot of people are going to rush to tell a stranger they own something like that if you know what I mean
