Redeemed 2013 Casascius 1 Bitcoin. Firstbits 13LzC3Yk. Series 2. Brass. MS-64 (PCGS).
Redeemed and non-loaded. With Loaded examples selling for as much as $69,000 in recent sales, this Redeemed example represents an incredible value and significant rarity for those looking for an entry into this category. A similarly redeemed 1 Bitcoin sold for $1,740 in our April 2022 sale and we have seen tremendous growth in this category since then. As a redeemed piece, the holographic sticker on the reverse has been peeled away and replaced, revealing the honey-comb pattern that serves as a security feature. According to researcher Elias Ahonen, the 2013 Series 2 1 BTC was "the first to have a 'lobe' cut into the private key pit in order to help stabilize the private key and first-bits during assembly, as they often appeared crooked in older coins." n
