Very cool, don't remember that one. Is there a full master list of all BTC hw wallets anywhere? I've always collected hw wallets and given so many away as gifts. I've always used Trezor for my own funds.

I like https://www.keevowallet.com, have one of the Founder Edition models, not sure if they're still active.

I think it's more to do with the premium being priced in BTC vs $. Cas Silver and Gilts regularly went for 2-3btc back when BTC was just a couple hundred $'s. Now you'll be lucky to even get 1.1BTC because .1BTC is worth a lot more than 1-2btc back in the active Cas trading days.

I'd like to know how many people sent BTC, probably not that many.
Mike did a lot for btc and physicals back in the day so I wouldn't call him a piece of shit. Also you're making it personal referring to his wife, etc which seems weird.
I have no skin in the game but unlike losing money on Alitin, Titans, etc.. I've never had a Cas Coin compromised.

Wasn't the .1 Cas Silver the rarest produced, maybe version 1? I'm trying to remember if anyone else does.

I'd just redeem it and sell the physical after you've secured the BTC. The premium is so low and those of us that still have Cass coins have no idea if the private key is still legible under the Holo until we actually pull them. They are amazing collectibles but the higher the BTC $ price the lower the premium and eventually it's just not worth it with shipping, etc..

Why would anyone even sell to you at spot? USD can be frozen in any bank account in minutes by authorities. Bitcoin is where the rich will eventually put their money to avoid divorce settlement, estate tax, wealth tax, etc.. It's already happening.
Call someone at Gemini, or Coinbase and ask if you can buy OTC.

The Titanium Blocks by BTCC, 25btc, or 12.5btc block rewards in a titanium block. Or Kialara Thuglife $100bill, I think there's only like 7 of these made.

Following as I have several 2FA coins that I'll need to redeem and didn't realize this was going to be an issue.

5.0025BTC

Did you end up selling the 25btc Cas? Kind of a cool method to sell via NFT. A hefty premium but interested to see if this went through.

LOT  1: 0.006BTC
LOT  21: 0.005BTC

Were these self funded, as in you sent funds to public key on hologram after receiving coin?

As a holder of numerous BTC physicals I think the market for selling is all but dead. The value of BTC is too high to transact via traditional methods and there doesn't seem to be any demand for physicals or cold storage BTC. When I bought, I always intended to hold, and pass them on to my kids to peel. Physicals are a conundrum because they have a higher BTC premium the lower the fiat value, so you'll never recoup your BTC, and most have realized that. I spent 17btc for a Cas 10, and so on, so would have been better off just saving the BTC on paper wallet for my kids, but I"m damn glad to have the Cas 10 and there are no regrets.

Would you recommend ICG over ANACS?

Do most collectors here find Cas coins to have more value if they are slabbed (graded)? Also, on a side note, does anyone have recommendations for grading 1BTC and higher Cas coins? Would it be better to just do it in person at the grading company HQ? I would not feel comfortable sending a 10btc Cas anywhere at the current price. Thanks.

Could happen but I don't think premiums will ever be that high. If BTC drops to $100 in 50 years, then yes. If it's the reserve crypto currency, then no way someone will pay $500k (example) for a $100k worth coin.

UPS with brown tamper tape, don't even declare value, just send it and it'll get there, make an arrangement with buyer and escrow to split btc if it's lost, tracking will show if something happens. I've had 10btc Cas shipped to me no prob. High declarations/insurance draws the most attention. Otherwise Fedex overnight. Wait til spring/summer, snow can mess up deliveries. There's always a chance, but it's pretty rare.

It's a great coin but probably best just keeping or peeling. You'll never get a $100k premium. The more $ BTC is worth, the less BTC premium Cas coins demand.

Interesting, thanks for sharing

I'd be interested in the 10btc, although not sure on the premium when thinking about it in terms of fiat. Will probably be hard (and not worth the risk) to sell even a 1btc Cas once BTC hits $100k+. On a side note, what is your recommended method to friends for sweeping the physical coins? Always like to hear about different methods. Thanks
