My advise, which I admit is not worth much, is for you to consider a large auction house that is accustomed to selling major high priced items. Christie's, Sotheby's, etc. This is a world class collection, very historical and relevant right now. I think if you engage a broader market with people that know how to market to the highest net-wealth class, you might be surprised.

This would certainly be an avenue I would pursue if peeling didn't exist as an option. Being totally honest, the USD value of these coins has surpassed any expectation I ever had for them. If/when I decide it is time to cash them out, peeling is a legitimate option due to it's simplicity. Selling the collection to someone on the forum for a BTC premium would be my preferred method as I'd like to see this collection live on in tact, but I doubt I would deal with an auction house as that seems like a pain in the ass and the auction house would likely be the main benefactor.
I should start auctioning the brass coins here soon. I've just been focusing my time on other things lately while hoping someone steps up to purchase the entire collection.
One coin I won't be peeling is the 1000 BTC gold round...
The auction houses charge a buyer's fee, which most wealthy buyers don't put much if any weight on, so you'd end up with the sale amount -- just fyi.
I'm a very long term and 'wealthy' buyer from all of the major auction houses, I can assure you that we do pay attention to the approx 25% buyers fee with often sales tax on top of that, lol the wealthy don't just ignore or not notice an extra 25% on what they bid, FYI.
Also, the seller has to pay commission too, unless they are in a position to negotiate this away, it's usually 10%
I do hope though that there will be a collectables market with the major auction houses for physical crypto once bitcoin really becomes established say in 2023, especially now that Christie's are getting in on the NFT honeypot
I did personally suggest it to Spink back in 2012 as an opportunity to do a world's first and offered them a near full set of Cas coins, but of course, they failed to see the opportunity same as most back then.
