Casascius 25 Bitcoins Up for Auction at Stack’s Bowers Showcase

By James McCartney – Director of Consignments and Numismatics, Stack’s Bowers Galleries ……
I am delighted to announce that we will be presenting a monumental work 25 Bitcoins Casascius 2011 as a member of Stack’s Bowers Galleries August 2024 Showcase AuctionThis exciting treasure was acquired directly from Mike Caldwellthe creator of the Casascius series, and has been cherished in a private collection ever since. It is one of only three listed by PCGS and has a current face value of over $1.5 million.

Graded MS65, this will be the first example of its kind and the largest crypto value to be offered by an auctioneer. While there are a handful of larger coins in the Casascius series, the 2011 Casascius 25 Bitcoin is, for all intents and purposes, the largest collector issue. Despite this, approximately 65% ​​of the original mintage has been deminished and additional coins continue to trade at a brisk pace. This spectacular PCGS MS65 example is sure to generate considerable excitement at our August Cryptocurrency Sale, which is shaping up to be the highlight of the year for the physical cryptocurrency category.

We will also be present at the Bitcoin Conference 2024 this summer, which takes place from July 25 to 27 in Nashville, Tennessee. The conference will be held at Music City Center located at 201 Rep. John Lewis Way South. I look forward to speaking with Bitcoin enthusiasts about the company’s physical cryptocurrency auctions and introducing this community to more traditional numismatics such as rare coins and paper currency. Conference attendees will be able to preview auction highlights at our booth and register to bid on upcoming auctions, including the August sale. We will be accepting pre-approved auction consignments at the conference, including collections of physical cryptocurrencies and traditional rare coins. To set up a meeting at the conference or for any questions about this category or the Casascius 25 Bitcoin offered above, you can reach me at (protected email).
