This is a secondary sale from the winner of the Hal Finney Sats from Nullish & Bitcoin Magazine

The original listing details can be found here.

In May of 2023, Bitcoin Magazine auctioned off a rare piece of Bitcoin history: 300 satoshis from block 78, mined by Hal Finney on January 10, 2009. The first sat from the 300 has been inscribed with a certificate of authenticity. The 299 sats located right after the first one can be moved out by anyone who holds the inscription at any time.

Hal Finney was a cryptographer an early Bitcoin pioneer, and this was the very first block he ever mined. These sats were mined on the same day of Hal’s famous "Running bitcoin" tweet, making them a truly rare find.

In fact, the only older sats in circulation are the ones that Satoshi Nakamoto mined in block 9 and sent to Hal Finney in the first-ever P2P transaction on the Bitcoin network. If Satoshi never returns, the sats from block 9 will be the only ones in circulation that are timestamped earlier than those from block 78.

50% of the proceeds from this auction will be donated to the ALS Association Golden West Chapter
