2013 Casascius 1 Bitcoin. Loaded. Firstbits 13LN9TZm. Series 2. Brass. MS-67 PL (ICG).

Loaded with 1 BTC. This specimen is presented from the Collection of Jimmy Song, the famed Bitcoin entrepreneur, educator, and author. One of the most popular issues of the entire Casascius series, just about 8,350 of the 2013 Series 2 1 BTC were funded in 2013 and 2014. Elias Ahonen notes that a "2014 [dated] version would have surely been even more numerous had Casascius not ended the sale of pre-funded coins." Since being released, over 38% of these coins have been peeled and redeemed. This issue remains coveted and increasingly scarce in loaded condition. A lesser-graded MS-66 (PCGS) example sold for $66,000 in our Spring 2022 sale. Issued on a 28.5mm brass planchet, the obverse features the Bitcoin currency symbol at center surrounded by a legend listing the date, denomination, and the Latin phrase "VIRES IN NUMERIS" that translates as "Strength in Numbers." The reverse features a holographic sticker with the firstbits address printed at the center. Beneath the holographic sticker is the private address that allows the owner to redeem the value of the bitcoin once the sticker is peeled away. Public Address: 13LN9TZm183SfZqMJkPGWXweRzsNXGZYFE
