Dazzling Gem Casascius 0.5 BTC in Brass The "Sleeper" Rarity of the Casascius Series 2013 Casascius 0.5 Bitcoin. Loaded. Firstbits 121rYPuD. Series 2. Brass. MS-65 (PCGS). Loaded with 0.5 BTC. With just 6 ranking higher at PCGS, this represents an important find for the most advanced specialist in this new and exciting category. The surfaces are bathed in rich honey-gold shades and exhibit untroubled frosty luster across the design elements. This piece showcases exceptional quality and eye appeal for the assigned grade. An MS-64 (PCGS) example realized $31,200 in our April 2022 sale. As a whole, the brass 2013 Casascius 0.5 BTC are somewhat of an endangered species. While just over 3,100 have been documented to be funded, over 27% of those have since been peeled and redeemed. Undoubtedly, this series will continue to be diminished by unknowing collectors as time goes on. The present example is one of only 11 pieces graded by PCGS in all grades and just 6 rank higher.
