I am happy to report that the printed catalogs are now in the mail for our Bitcoin Halving Sale and the pre-sale bidding has already gained strong momentum Significantly, this is our last crypto auction to be held before the Halving and we have seen an outpouring of collectors looking to add to their holdings ahead of this event.
We’ve curated two auction sessions featuring more than 200 crypto lots and a total market value above $1 million. Part 1 opens for live bidding on Thursday, March 28 and Part 2 takes place on Tuesday, April 2. We are also proud to offer bidders the option to pay their invoices in crypto via BitPay (fee applies).
The sale kicks off with a truly historic BitBills 1 Bitcoin card, which represents the direct precursor to the coin format that would soon be popularized by Casascius and other series. It is followed by a parade of treasures including a Casascius 5 Bitcoin, Casascius 1 Bitcoins in silver and brass, an unfunded Casascius 100 Bitcoin Bar, rarities from the Lealana series in silver, prized “Poker Chips” from the BTCC, Satori, and Mantis Cryptos series, and many more.
This Bitcoin Halving Sale also marks the live auction debut for a number of significant types including a Ballet Litecoin card, an Excellion Tether poker chip, the Lealana Grim Reaper series, a Denarium “Silver Bull” 1 Bitcoin, and many others. Also presented are selections from several named collections including the Mindtrip Collection, the Collection of Iacobus De Villa, the Lealana Archives, and items from the collection of famed Bitcoin entrepreneur and educator Jimmy Song.
On behalf of the entire Stack’s Bowers Galleries team, I want to thank all of the collectors who have helped us develop physical crypto into a legitimate numismatic category. If you have any questions on this sale or the category in general, you can reach me at JMcCartney@StacksBowers.com
