Extremely Rare BTCC "Poker Chip" 0.5 Bitcoin Never Before Offered in a Live Auction 2016 BTCC 500K Bits "Poker Chip" 0.5 Bitcoin. Loaded. Firstbits 1PZcvNLUM. Serial No. A00593. Series C. Clay Composite. MS-70 (PCGS). Loaded with 0.5 Bitcoin. This is a very special offering that ranks as the first example to be presented in a live auction. This flawless specimen sits at the very top of the PCGS Population report with none graded higher. It represents the most prized denomination from the 2016 BTCC "poker chip" series with only 700 released in total. However, more than 150 of these have been peeled and redeemed, further increasing the rarity of loaded survivors like this MS-70 (PCGS) example. While we have offered several titanium 0.5 bitcoins from this series--one of which sold for $26,400--this is our debut of the denomination in the sought-after "poker chip" format. Combining exceptional quality and significant rarity, this purple BTCC 0.5 Bitcoin is an absolute treasure and will serve as a crowning jewel in an advanced collection. As with the other denominations in this series, these purple 0.5 Bitcoin "poker chips" were first issued in 2016 by the bitcoin exchange BTCC in six denominations ranging 1K to 500K "bits". Each denomination is color-coded and represents a fraction of a bitcoin including white 1K (0.001 BTC), red 5K (0.005 BTC), blue 10K (0.01 BTC), green 25K (0.025 BTC), black 100K (0.1 BTC), and purple 500K (0.5 BTC). Most were offered as part of six-coin sets containing one of each denomination, though customers also had the option of ordering custom configurations or bulk 20-chip rolls. Initially intended as a fun way of participating in the cryptocurrency market, these BTCC poker chips have developed an incredibly robust following among traditional coin collectors who recognize their true rarity.
