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 MS-67 (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, which are among the most coveted and elusive pieces in this category. Each is truly a work of art and will serve as a crown jewel in an advanced collection.
