I'd put up a 5 day auction starting at 0BTC with increments of 0.005BTC.  Offer the use of escrow and you should get a fair price for your items.  Nice coins BTW  ;)

I really appreciate the advice. I'll entertain offers for a few days and go the auction route. Newer here, but have been selling crypto and related collectibles on Ebay for years (h2o_customs). Tired of the bs, fraud, and games there. Agree on use of escrow all day for peace of mind.

What country do you ship from?

Auction sounds good if you don't get any solid bids on PM.

Yeah good choice.  Done right auctions with escrow here are silky smooth for the most part.  Good luck on your sale or possible auction.

Have these coins been peeled?
I’ve never seen any Lealana coins sold un-assembled. If I recall correctly, all buyer funded coins were sold with holograms and the coins were assembled (firstbits were green and hologram was laser etched with ‘Buyer Funded’).

Yeah great question.  Can you take a picture of the back of these coins and post them?

Small offer on PM made. Maybe write what you hope for. Saves time for all.

Oops I didnt scroll down on the image link lol.  Lazy me thanks krog.  Didnt realize these were peeled. 

Were they peeled or did they sell this way? I dont see any holo pattern on coin.

What say you Spokanistan? Did holos come attached or on the side?

they were never sold like this afaik.
Probably peeled and cleaned...

but if thats not the case, would like to know as well

I agree Sky... but if he peeled he should have left holo pattern on it. I dont like cleaned coins.

Could it have been cleaned without damaging the silver??  That’s not possible is it??

I always get a spooky feeling when I see peeled coins being sold without their original holograms. Everyone that would be peeling these things knows how much collector's value the hologram, so then the only way it makes sense in my head is if the hologram was sold separately or being used for nefarious purposes.

OP, do you know the story of where these holos ended up?

For anybody considering selling their coins: NEVER CLEAN A COIN, Not even professionally.

Good question. Not sure. It is something I learned from collecting stamps. If a stamp was hinged and part of the gum was still attached, you leave the existing gum still on there. Also when they grade stamps a cleaned stamp is of less value than a stamp that has not been modified in anyway. Just my two satoshi's...and my preference.

 Agree..here is a good article on this https://coinvalues.com/library/why-you-shouldnt-clean-your-coins

No.

These were never sold DIY, so there is no reason to worry, the holo must have been peeled so it could never be reused.

Ships from U.S.

Great questions everyone. I purchased these for my personal collection from the person that redeemed them. I have never cleaned the coins, they have always been in the protective cases. The smallest one (.1) appears to have residue left on the coin from the hologram. The .5 and .25 do not appear to have any residue. I have attempted to reach out to the Lealana website multiple times to request new holograms, but never get a response. The only response I ever get are questions about the purchase (or purchasing) new coins. I am happy to take additional photos, but being newer to this site I'm still getting used to doing it as there is no direct "upload" available. I have been using the Imgur app as recommended (thank you).

You will never get new holos from smoothie that would be the most serious security breach if so. 

Correct, I should have been more clear on the holos. I was speaking of a DIY holo for the coins that have been redeemed, such as these. Rather than have a coin with just collector value, why not be able to purchase a holo for reloading the coin that does not include a private key upon purchase? I could then create my own and load the coin. Finite By Design, for example, Chris did a great job of working with me on holos when I had issues with a Casper ETH coin they sell. I am not able to load the coin DIY.

With the amount of value under all of smoothies coins in circulation I dont think he wants there to be any confusion of what is possibly funded and whats not.  It would be only trouble for lealana to do that.

I have over 100 Lealana coins and I had no idea there was engraving under the holo because I have never peeled one.  Anyone have better pictures of the engraving on the backside?

Thanks!

Bump - A few offers in, any others? Thank you!

I’m kinda interested in offering a buy or trade..but what would be very helpful to all Inquiring minds here would
Be to take pics of the backs with out being inside the cases, preferably in actual sunlight. They certainly look to me like they’ve been cleaned..but the glare is making it hard to tell. If you have the time, thx!

Here are some photos out of cases and in sunlight per request:
