Historic Fourth of July Bitcoin to be Auctioned by Stack’s Bowers Galleries on June 18
June 17, 2026
As national excitement builds for America’s 250th anniversary, premier rare coin auction firm Stack’s Bowers Galleries is offering a crossover artifact that bridges the early American ideals of self-sovereignty and economic freedom with the cutting edge of modern commerce and collectability. Presented at auction this Thursday will be a Casascius 0.5 Bitcoin token, which was created on July 4, 2013; the exact 237th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Produced by Utah-based software engineer Mike Caldwell during Bitcoin s infancy beginning in 2011, the Casascius coin series is widely considered the “holy grail” of crypto collectibles, and each physical token is backed by real digital bitcoin funded on the blockchain.
