Description
Astoundingly Desirable Casascius Full Bitcoin Bearer Bar
Casascius gold-plated brass "Storage Bar" Bearer Bar Loaded
(Unredeemed) 1 Bitcoin (BTC) 2011 Genuine PCGS, Ahonen-pg 119.
Total Issued: Unknown. Series 2. Type UF (User-Funded). 80 x 40mm.
Firstbits 1Gcy3Yy4. Based on the in-depth research of physical
cryptocurrency authority Elias Ahonen, these Storage Bars were the
very first Casascius items issued unfunded-allowing original owners
to load a custom amount of Bitcoin via the assigned firstbits and
public address. While the precise number of funded and unredeemed
examples remains unknown, their extreme scarcity is clear, with
only the rarest appearances on the secondary market. Modeled after
the form of a 10-ounce gold bar, the design is both striking and
historically important within the Casascius series. As one of the
earliest user-funded crypto collectibles-and with so few known to
survive-this piece offers an exciting opportunity for collectors to
secure a foundational artifact from the dawn of physical Bitcoin.
