Otoh Collection Returns With Part VIII in Heritage’s ANA Physical Cryptocurrency Auction
| The Otoh Collection, Part VIII among September 3 auction highlights DOWNLOAD DIGITAL PRESS KIT “Physical cryptocurrency has developed into an increasingly established collecting category due to the broader evolution of digital currency and its ability to give individuals greater control over how assets are received, held and transferred,” says Cris Bierrenbach, Executive Vice President of International Numismatics at Heritage Auctions. “The Otoh Collection captures an important chapter in numismatics history as a physical legacy of early and distinguished varieties of physical Bitcoin.” Kialara’s “FOMO” Conceptual Post-it® Art Note will make its first appearance at auction and serve as the edition’s initial moment of price discovery. As serial number 01 of just 12 examples produced, FOMO demonstrates a unique interplay of conceptual artistry and market exclusivity that bidders will have the chance to compete for. Another standout is a BTCC silver Proof Loaded (Unredeemed) 1 Bitcoin (BTC) 2017 PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC. With a mintage of just 100, the S Series physical Bitcoin is certified PR69 Ultra Cameo by NGC — the highest grade recorded by NGC, where it is joined by only five other examples in the census.
