Lots 5015, 5043, and 5048 pictured.

Presented are more than 60 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, BlueBits, Kialara, Alpen Coin, Satori, Polymerbit, and other series. This sale is also significant for marking the firm’s fourth Spring Showcase Auction to feature a dedicated crypto offering since they entered the category in 2021.

The sale begins with a strong selection of rarities from the Casascius series highlighted by a magnificent 5 Bitcoin graded MS-66 (PCGS). This is accompanied by many other collector favorites such as silver examples of the 0.1 Bitcoin and 0.5 Bitcoin, as well as a selection of brass 1 Bitcoin pieces including the prized 2011 “Error” variety.

The sale also features a strong offering of coins from the BTCC series, consistently one of the most prized among collectors. There are examples of four different Poker Chip denominations highlighted by a 0.1 BTC Black Chip, as well as a range of Redeemed examples including a 0.025 BTC Green Chip and a Titanium 0.5 BTC.

The Lealana series is represented by a wide range of types from the classic 2013 issues such as rare three-piece set of silver coins (including a legendary “Gold B” 1 Bitcoin), a Pattern 0.5 BTC with experimental finish, and more modern favorites like the Grim Reaper and King Kam issues.

The Spring 2025 Showcase Auction is currently posted at StacksBowers.com for viewing and pre-sale bidding. The live Physical Cryptocurrency session will be held on Thursday, April 3 at 9:00 AM PDT (12:00 PM ET). Stack’s Bowers Galleries also invites consignments to their June 2025 Cryptocurrency Auction which will be promoted at the firm’s booth at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada May 27 through 29.
