One of the limited editions? Do you have a link to the listing, or if no listing, do you mind sharing what it went for?

WTS a few Ledger HW1s.

In 2015, Ledger made a very limited run of collectible HW.1 devices (a predecessor to the Ledger Nano) in addition to the standard HW.1 devices. The special editions were:

Copay edition
Coinkite edition
Mycelium edition
Green Address edition
Electrum edition

Ledger still has a live web page showing what they look like on the inside of the box. https://www.ledger.com/celebrating-ledgers-partnerships-in-style

Taking offers on the Copay, Mycelium, and Electrum editions. All NIB, sealed in original plastic wrap.

I don't know how many of these were made, but I've not seen another one on off off this forum. No idea how to price them, but I am open to offers here or DM.

The only way Cas coins are going back to even a 0.5 premium is if BTC price goes back below $10,000. If you think that is going to happen, you can hodl your coin until then.

If a trusted community member gave you an offer of 0.05 over peel value, and you were in a position to safely make the trade, then go for it. But for many, those stars don't always line up perfectly. Peeling is certainly the safest and most convenient way to "cash in" on the value on the coin.

Another option is to keep it intact. It's a good way to give a "diamond hands" effect to "paper hand" people.

Not saying you're paper hand, but you know what I mean...

Lot 3: 0.03

Beauts! I sadly missed out on the chance to acquire any BBs.

Would be curious to know your purchase price, even if the amount was settled a few years ago, if you're willing to share.

Keep those deep in a vault and hodl. That's a legacy-level collection.

Nice set, and priced well!

An alt take on grading:

Grading can be great if for no other reason than it preserves your coin in its best state. You need never worry about fingerprints, etc when in a slab.

While each buyer must do their diligence, and a coin being in a slab is never an absolute guarantee of authenticity, it does "evidence" authenticity, and for an entry-level buyer who may not have seen a cas coin in person before and has no frame of reference, having the backing of a graded coin in a slab can be the make or break decision as to whether or not someone wants to take the risk of a purchase.

I highly recommend getting coins graded by a reputable company.

Ah I see the cert now. Didn't realize some of these sets were buyer funded.

This would be a good item for ICG to note on their slab, esp since these sets are differentiated into seller funded and buyer funded.

Nice looking coins regardless, hard to get better grades than that. I'd still like to see the back 

These are unfunded? Can we see the back?

Also, I'm surprised there would be no "redeemed" note on ICG's slab...

Potential buyer in a recent post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5481250.0

Best of luck, we'd love to see some pictures!

For a contrary opinion, I've sold a few small-value items through Scarce.city, worked directly with Chris, and had a good experience.

The criticism about reserve bidding, and sellers backing out, is very legitimate. Oftentimes over the years I've had sold something at auction that went for much less than I expected, but those are the rules, and the item gets to the buyer regardless. But in this situation, I'd blame the seller more than the auction house. Taking all items in first for inspection, as an alternative, would increase their overhead greatly. The liability alone of keeping things secure while in escrow would be very challenging. Maybe this is something they can do as they grow, or figure out better guarantees for both parties in the meantime.

I just see people coming in and throwing shade at their whole operation from various angles, and just wanted everyone to take a step back and see that scarce is doing something interesting and unique, and giving exposure to bitcoin and collectibles in an industry where just staying afloat in the last few years has been a struggle.

Sold price of $312k, seems decent, except when you consider we're likely one good bull run away from this being a $ million coin.

Had several positive interactions w/ Chris and Scarce City myself. Very reputable in my book.

I'm admittedly one of these dinosaurs. I resist the digitization of things for the sake of digitizing things. What especially doesn't make sense to me is attaching a modern digital token to an older physical collectible. Maybe there's more evidence in the chain of ownership, but this is just one more thing that people will lose track of, I think, due to the NFT being secondary to the physical item.

Not to mention, Cas coins for example have been around for a while, and are swapped between people all the time - if you were to mint a token for a coin now, how do you prove ownership of someone to assign the token to?

I personally wouldn't care if I was in possession of a physical item but the not the NFT. The physical item is the thing that I see as holding value.

There was a Bitbill auction a few months back where the owner (who had nothing to do will the guy / guys that made BitBills, he was just the owner of the BitBill), minted an NFT to accompany the sale:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5357165.msg57812232#msg57812232

Since anyone could mint a token, and "minter" isn't even the artist / creator, it's tough to see what value, if any, something like that adds.

Interesting, I've never actually noted the load date of any of my coins. Had no idea that people cared.

My understanding is there were 487 total Series 2 - 25 BTC coins, which makes them less rare than the 345 total series 1 - 25 BTC coins (referencing the Ahonen encyclopedia here).

However, it seems you're referring to the "load year" of an S2 coin? In that case, then yes, only 29 of the S2 25 BTC coins were loaded in 2011.

That being said, the coin above appears to be loaded in 2012, along with 196 other coins. Do people really care about the load year, though?

Still a beeeeeeautiful coin, and still very rare. Hope it finds a good home.

I can confirm that my unloaded 500 XTZ note is now loaded. Thanks for reaching out to them again, Hhampuz.

I never peeled anything. You did send me a message saying to the effect that you wondered if it really was loaded, just that the pubkey didn't match the priv key. I suppose that's possible but I'm not willing to peel quite yet.

Also, for the record, I bought two notes in this group buy - a 1000 XTZ note and a 500 XTZ note. The 1000 XTZ note appears to be loaded (at least the public key that's displayed on the outside shows a balance). Just the 500 XTZ note that showed an empty pubkey.

I had an issue myself. The 500 XTZ note I bought shows empty when I scan the QR code, though I certainly paid to have it funded in the group buy.

The 500 XTZ note appears empty. tz1UTpvzShtRxv297JjEW2i3UZZ4TxpAC3uW

Bitcoin Suisse said this in an email to me:

"In order to load them you would first have to have the correct amount in the respective currency on your Bitcoin Suisse account.

Once you have enough funds on your account, your can send us the security code that was delivered with the certificate (Please note that it has to come from the e-mail address you are registered with on Bitcoin Suisse).

After the reception of the security code we will then be able to load the certificate with the respective amount."

As this was purchased in the group buy with Hhampuz, I reached out to him to sort this out. He says that he did not get any response when reaching out to Bitcoin Suisse.

This was about a year ago that I noticed this, and never really followed up. The last update I got from Hhampuz after asking if there was an update was "No reply as of yet.. :/" - that was Feb 12th 2021.
