Title: Question about peeling physical coin
Post by: kebabman on January 04, 2018, 09:57:30 PM
Hi all looking for some input on what I should do with my physical 2014 Titan Mint 1oz gold 1BTC coin please. It's funded and it was my original intent to just leave the coin in my safe unopened and forget about it for a decade, thinking it would be worth more at some future point as an never opened, never tampered with, still with original funding, coin.... but, with the price of BTC/BCH being what they are, I'm now thinking I should probably peel and sweep the contents of the wallet from the coin as the coin is now worth a relatively small % markup compared to the BTC/BCH held and currently I can't do anything with it. Thoughts?

It's a beautiful coin and half the reason I don't want to peel it is it looks so good. If I do peel it, how do I do it whilst retaining the best possible collectors value for the coin? I've read on here somewhere there is a "proper way" to peel the security hologram that collectors appreciate and helps retain the collectability of the coin, does anyone know what it is? I'm drawing a blank on a search. My plan after peeling and sweeping would be to send it to ANACS for grading then put it back in the safe and resume plan-A of forgetting about it for a decade.

Appreciate any advice. :)

Peel it just enough to be able to read the code while leaving as much of the sticker intact as possible.  These are proof coins so you have to be super careful or you are going to smudge it.  Keep that face as untouched as you can.  Thank you for your contribution.
 
The collector value will be based on your ability to preserve the condition of the coin.

The coin is worth far more funded than peeled.  But thats your choice.  

You might be able to get a tempting offer from someone on this forum for the coin, sparing you from peeling it in the first place.

^^ Agreed.

Unless you really need the cash right now, leave it funded or sell it as a complete unit.

Smart!  

Keep it in an airtite if you are not already.

And take it out of the safe once per week to admire it.
