Did I buy these from you? God I can't even remember. It was so long ago.
Lol, I am starting to question the veracity of OP's claim that he is the second owner of the coin.
He is. I bought them from someone - I just have no idea who. This was 4 years ago. I didn't honestly think they were from Blazed though. I got his SilverWallets and that's the package that got lost for months. The Casascius might have been direct from Mike but fucked if I remember. I bought quite a few of them at the time, sold some (longgggg time ago) and give them as gifts to friends etc.
What I'm saying is that if you can't remember where you got the coin from, that means you don't know if you were the first owner, which means nano doesn't know if he was the second owner.
So the claim that OP's coin is in the hands of the second owner is now thrown into question.
Seems slightly absurd that this presents itself as an unsolvable problem to you. Can't you search DMs, emails?
Just like bitcoin. It's all perceived value. Its a collectors item. A piece of bitcoin history. A 1933 Double eagle is now worth $7.6 million. You never know. Your grandkids will thank you.
I still have btc for which I paid $2.50. If there is something I want or like I'll pay a few BTC for it. Great value to the receiver but no skin off my back. Price is relative.
I have a similar bar, protected and in perfect condition .. this bars are beautiful i paid for my bar inclusive of shipping and import tax near 1.5 btc ... beautiful casascius item good luck whit this auction
Interesting. Good to know. Unfortunately this bar was not protected but it's still a beauty. I had some crazy bids in PM and else were so I put this auction up but it's not had any traction. I don't need to sell so I'll just hang on to it until I get a good bid.
These item will end up being museum pieces once cryptocurrency takes over the world!
This bar was received and held unprotected so there are scratches and blemished on the bar as you can see from the photos below but its still a pretty item.
I reserve the right to reject any bit under 1 BTC.
Shipping included in purchase price.
Thank you.

Re: Nominally funded Gold Plated Casascius Bearer Bar
Do you know if there was a reasoning behind the funding? looks like a small batch was funded same date???
TBH I didn't even know it was funded. Mike must have put some dust on them when he created them. I bought it "unfunded." Don't remember what the funded prices where at the time.
(Is Mike even still around? I've not seen him post anywhere in a while.)
