Great looking coin, wish I could afford the premium.  Good luck, you should have no problem moving this beauty.

looking for offers around 6 btc as a guide.

I will break the ice then... 5.75BTC

thanks for the offers, highest is at 5.8 via private message.

5.85BTC

Would be nice if we could get all bids public...or start a PM between bidders.

This coin is getting more attractive by the minute.

Can we auction?  5.86 btc if auction terms are laid out.

5.9BTC

dozerz, if you are considering peeling this coin to capture the combined btc + bch value you should instead sell it to blazed at what seems to be a reasonable offer.  

Cool piece of history and would be great if it could remain in mint state.

Edit:  or Auction!

Meh, I dislike that we have all these forks. While they do add value it is a wash because who would peel a Cas and lose the premium?

Unfortunately I believe it has already happened...

thanks blazed, this is the highest bid so far. will leave open for a few more days and then will be sold as my reserve is met.

When Bitcoin Cash is .2BTC in about a day and a half...

5.95

Ha...I bet this pump wont go that high. Jihan and Roger do have a lot of money so it will be interesting I suppose.

highest bidder, coin will be sold.

6BTC

gogo blazed and climbing BCH!

People are making me work for it...

highest bidder.

should i start including bitcoin gold price also? has to be at least 0.1 ;)

6.05

This is turning out to be one of the more interesting sales to watch. BCC and BCG are tossing a monkey wrench into the physical crypto market.

I was just thinking exactly the same thing. I think LesbianCow is right when they say "the peeling" has already started. When you take into account the low premium of 0.5 (2013) and 1.0 BTC (2013) Brass Coins, plus the relatively low premium that a Casascius 25 BTC usually gets (a couple of BTC), it is now more worthwhile peeling either of them to access the funds, than it would be trying to sell them here on the forum.

Definitely a spanner thrown into the works.

That is very interesting and a great point. Also sucks @$$ - But do you guys think these BTC Alt’s are really going to “stick around”?

EDIT: meant 6.1

considering the recent rise in bch i am suspending the sale. no bids provided have met the new peel value so this one can stay in the safe for now.

Hightest bid ?

I still would not peal, you ( and everyone) knows your coin as a store of value loaded pre forked has for every 1 BTC  also 1 BCC and 1 BCG and the value IMO associated with Mike Caldwell as the first person to physically make and load coins. That may not be a big demand now but give it three more years or so

Keep in mind, though, that it's possible the BCH rise is temporary, and the BTC/BCH ratio trends will reverse. So you'd be getting a much higher than normal premium now due to a temporary market spike in your favor.

You may look back as this being the best opportunity you had to sell your Bitnickel.

i am in no rush to sell or peel but i do need to get fair value. as value has seen a recent increase and all current offers are under peel value then i see no reason to sell.

Sounds to me you are better off peeling it then. When I buy Cas coins I buy because they are Cas coins and not all of the shit coins that come extra. I buy them as collectibles not to peel. I think all these forks are hurting physical coins because people are wanting to add the shit coins into the price. My guess is after a year they all fade in value a lot while Bitcoin still is killing it.

as already discussed yes, these forks are hurting the physical coin market as buyers do not want to add the additional premiums either in bitcoin or include the forked coin or for sellers who are expected to accept offers under peel value.

happy to park this one for a year and see where the market lands.

Part of me hopes people peel tons of coins so mine become more and more rare  8)

that was a short lived BCH rally.   the best bid looks to be higher than the peel value now, right?  I want to see where this trades!

I bid 5.3 btc plus 5 bch (bitcoin cash)

How old is this coin? 2012?

Yes, dated 2012 and funded in 2012.

I offer 5.4 BTC and 5 BCH

This is a trend I really wish wouldn't happen. You forgot to add 5 Bitcoin Golds and CLAMS also  :P

I view the bch on the coin as zero value long term as I would not be peeling the coin and I think the long term value of bch will be negligible.  I have bch I obtained simply by owning btc at the fork so if the seller wanted the the bch value out of the deal it seems like a good deal for us both - i transfer bch I believe are worth very little long term, seller gets bch and can convert at today's rate to btc if they wish.  Makes sense to me to be honest.

I agree with you 100%

lol I forgot  about Clams !

acknowledge this offer and is in the format i would like, however is below my reserve. i am looking closer to 6 btc + 5 bch. not interested in clams or bitcoin gold.
