Thank you all. My primary goal was accomplished . I will look into sweeping the forks. This is a great forum!

I have many more of them and a unique opportunity where opening three is ok for me. Ok….so I crack a few open and am successful redeeming the bitcoin what can I do to obtain the forked coins?

I do not see "Select "Import bitcoin addresses or private keys" as an item I can select in the Electrum 4.1.4 wallet. Where should I be seeing that?

My primary objective is transferring the BTC value to my coinbase so I can redeem for USD. After I do that....what is the process for obtaining all the BTC forks. I am exploring this right now with the help of guidance on this chat......Ok so I redeem a cass coin and I got that BTC in my coinbase......how can I get access to the BTC forks.....

This is a side discussion. I might ask more questions regarding redeeming the BTC.

#learning by doing trying not to F* up 

Thank you. My anxiety is getting better If I try this process using a private key of a Casascius token that has already been redeemed / spent, I should see the transaction attempt to occur in the wallet but not get confirmed (obviously because its already been redeemed). I think that will be my final "test" before going at redeeming my tokens.

This is a learning experience for me. Please chime in, any guidance from people who know more about this than I do is welcome! Thank you everyone for the help!

Just did a test transfer of .0001 btc from coinbase to the Electrum 4.1.4 wallet and it went through.

Please advise if I am correct in my logic for how to redeem Casascius tokens. Please advise and please correct anything I might be missing. This is a lot of money. I appreciate people sharing who have the knowledge / experience using Electrum 4.1.4.

I changed the unit of account on the wallet from mBTC to BTC.

Using the Electrum version 4.1.4 wallet? I have seen examples using prior editions of the Electrum wallet, I want to make sure they can be redeemed using version 4.1.4. I have only used bitcoin on one occasion in 2013 and now these tokens are worth a lot of money. If possible could you break it down for me a bit....I open the Electrum wallet--> send tab -->enter my coinbase bitcoin address in the "pay to" section, then enter  p2pkh:PRIVET KEY UNDER THE STICKER in the "description" section, type in 1,000 mBTC  (because 1000mBTC = 1 BTC) and click pay. And doing this will transfer the 1 BTC off of the Casascius token and into my Coinbase account?

I can do everything, In the send tab of the Electrum wallet....transfer the 1 etc value off the token and into my coinbase account?

I am not an expert and want to make sure I am doing this right the first time.

How can Casascius bitcoin tokens be redeemed using the macOS Big Sur operating system? What specific wallets should I use and what is the process of redeeming the tokens. I am very new to this and don't want to mess anything up. Please give as much detail as possible. Thank you a lot!!!

Hi All -
 
Can Electrum 4.1.4 be used to redeem Casascius tokens? If someone has done this, please tell me how? I want to redeem and transfer the BTC to my Coinbase account.

I am using macOS Big Sur, if anyone knows other methods I can use, please advise.

Thanks.

Hi

I have some 1 BTC Casascius bitcoins I would like to sell. All are funded with 1btc and they are graded mint state 63 by the American Numismatic Association.

How do people go about selling on this platform?

Thanks,

John

I found an auction for an unredeemed Casascius 2013 one Bitcoin on Ebay. Auction is up in 7 days. Sharing for those interested.

This is all very helpful info. I’ve bought on one occasion and have never redeemed, so I’m not a subject matter expert on the topic. If anyone has some more knowledge to share on the topic, I’m all ears and I truly appreciate it!

This is helpful. Thank you.

Regarding Casascius Bitcoins. I know the visible numbers and letters on the back of the coin is the "public key" & that the "private key" is under the sticker. I am not planning on redeeming any tokens but I am interested in knowing the technical process for how to redeem them.

If someone has a bitcoin written out as a long sequence of numbers and letters on a piece of paper, how can that long sequence of numbers and letters be sent to an exchange or a digital wallet?

I would like a deeper understanding. Thanks!
