Description
Scarce Redeemed 2013 Casascius 0.5 BTC
Just 1 Finer at PCGS
Redeemed 2013 Casascius 0.5 Bitcoin. Firstbits 127q9pqQ. Series 2. Brass. MS-66 (PCGS).
Redeemed and non-loaded. The surfaces are painted in a blend of golden-wheat and honey luster and remain fee of any significant marks. A similar Redeemed 2013 0.5 BTC sold for $2,040 in our June 2022 sale with a lesser grade of MS-64. The present MS-66 (PCGS) example offers clearly superior quality and should generate tremendous excitement among bidders. It is among the finest graded by PCGS and just 1 coin is ranked higher. According to researcher Elias Ahonen, the Series 2 0.5 BTC were released on February 17th 2013 in response to the significant increase in the price of bitcoin, from around US$14 to around US$30, in just a few weeks. While a staggering increase in value at the time, bitcoin has more recently achieved a high of around $68,000 in 2021.
PCGS# 902816.
PCGS Population: 7; 1 finer.
