Loaded Green Address examples are relatively rare and this coin represents the very first offering of this type in a live public auction. A Black Address example of this denomination sold for $5,280 in our November 2022 auction. That piece was graded MS-64+, which emphasizes the astonishing quality of this MS-69 (ANACS). <p><p><p><p>First introduced as Lealana Litecoin, the Lealana series was released to collectors and investors in June 2013 as a counterpart to the Casascius physical bitcoins introduced in 2011.
