2011 Casascius 1 Bitcoin. Loaded. Firstbits 14ouVGwQ. Series 1. CASACIUS Error. Brass. MS-65 (PCGS).
Loaded with 1 BTC. Funded October 6, 2011. As the first funded physical bitcoin ever produced, the CASACIUS Error is paralleled by many similar spelling errors among early United States coinage including the misspelling of CURRENCY as "CURENCY" on the historic "1776" Continental Dollar, which regularly sells for six-figure sums. This CASACIUS variety has developed a strong following among collectors of all specialties as an historic relic from the earliest days of this new monetary system. A lesser-graded MS-62 example sold for $108,000 in our November 2024 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. Public Address: 14ouVGwQLbrwLH2SbH9hu9o5p1Gna2yp1P
