Costa Mesa, CA (June 8, 2022) – Stack’s Bowers Galleries is thrilled to announce another unprecedented selection of Bitcoins and physical cryptocurrency in their June 2022 Showcase Auction. This offering comes on the heels of the firm’s record-setting $500,000 sale of Bitcoins in their April 2022 auction, where strong premiums of up to 500% were realized. Collector demand for physical cryptocurrency continues to grow among both crypto enthusiasts and traditional numismatists, and Stack’s Bowers Galleries has positioned themselves as the clear leader in this new and exciting category.
The June sale features the popular Casascius, Lealana, Satori, and BTCC series in a range of denominations from 0.001 Bitcoin to 1 Bitcoin, as well as several 1 Litecoin pieces. This selection is highlighted by a Top Pop MS-68 (PCGS) 2013 Casascius 1 Bitcoin that was acquired directly from series creator Mike Caldwell. This Ultra Gem ranks as the sole finest Casascius 1 Bitcoin graded by PCGS across all dates and varieties. The historic 2011 Casascius “CASACIUS ERROR” 1 Bitcoin is represented by several MS-67 (PCGS) examples which are tied for finest known of the issue. This issue is significant as the very first funded physical bitcoin ever produced. The Stack’s Bowers Galleries June 2022 Auction also marks the first time an example of this quality will be sold in a live auction. In addition, fractional Satori 1K Bits and BTCC 5K Bits offer attractive entry-points for collectors looking to dip a toe into this category.
Featuring 23 lots in total, the Stack’s Bowers Galleries June 2022 sale represents the largest offering of physical cryptocurrency ever presented in a live auction. These pieces will be sold at the end of Session 2 which opens for live bidding on Wednesday, June 15 at 10:00 AM PDT. Stack’s Bowers Galleries is also excited to offer their clients the ability to pay for their purchases with Bitcoin. The firm has arranged with BitPay to facilitate all Bitcoin payments and a 1% fee will be added to all invoices for this service.
