Stack’s Bowers Galleries announces the Physical Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency session of their November 2024 Showcase Auction. Presented on Friday, November 22, will be more than 100 exciting crypto lots that span from the classic Casascius and Lealana rarities of the early 2011-2014 period, to more modern collector favorites from the BTCC, Kialara, Alpen Coin, Denarium, 1HoDLCLUB, Satori, Polymerbit, Caribbean Treasures, and other series. In total, this offering represents a current face value of nearly $1 million.
This sale is historic as the first dedicated physical crypto auction post-election and will surely serve as a landmark offering for this category. It is also significant for marking the three-year anniversary of Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ first-ever crypto offering in November 2021. Since then, the firm has gone on to sell more than 1,500 crypto lots realizing over $7 million in total prices and has become established as the leading resource for this category.
The November sale begins with a strong offering of rarities from the Casascius series, highlighted by a magnificent 5 Bitcoin graded MS66 (PCGS). This is accompanied by many other collector favorites such as a silver 0.5 Bitcoin and a selection of brass 1 Bitcoin pieces including the prized 2011 “Error” variety and a magnificent 2013 1 Bitcoin graded MS67 (PCGS).
The sale also boasts a strong range of coins from the BTCC series, which is consistently one of the most prized among collectors. Featured are examples of four different Poker Chip denominations including an “Artist Proof” variety, as well as a range of Redeemed examples from the V Series struck in titanium including the 0.5 Bitcoin and 5 Bitcoin.
The Lealana series is represented by a wide range of types from the classic 2013 issues such as rare 0.1 Bitcoin pieces in silver, including a gilt pattern example, and a legendary “Gold B” 1 Bitcoin, as well as more modern favorites like the Grim Reaper and King Kam issues.
This sale is also the firms’ first-ever offering of bars from the Kialara series.
