Unfunded 2014 Microsoul 0.01 Bitcoin. Series 1 and 2. Brass. MS-67 (PCGS).
Unfunded and non-loaded. This is the ONLY EXAMPLE of the type graded by PCGS and represents a desirable jewel for collectors. The Microsoul series was launched at the end of 2013 by Matthew Rodbourne of the UK. The earliest issues were primarily made in brass and nickel compositions but eventually included silver and gold-plated silver coins as seen in the Casascius and Lealana series. Specialist Elias Ahonen notes in his bitcoin Encyclopedia that "with coins in 0.01 BTC and 0.05 BTC, Microsoul very much worked on the same scale of value as Casascius did originally" and that "his coins have clearly been heavily inspired by Casascius' classic designs". However, the Microsoul series was produced in significantly smaller quantities and offer a tremendous rarity. Ahonen notes that only 124 pre-funded coins were issued of the 2014 Series 1 type. A desirable example from the "classic" era of physical crypto.
