Of course it's not going for under face, but the point is that we get to watch and enjoy the journey above. You want to redeem your self? Bid your BTC0.5 over MY bid...now...when it actually injects some excitement into this auction!
Please stop trying to squeeze out arbitrary posts for your sig payout. No one has time to sit and bid tiny increments until it reaches 1BTC.
I'm looking to sell a funded casascius tenth, graded MS68. Looking to get 0.5BTC for it. Shipping is not included, and it ships from the US. Please note that all shipping is done at your own risk. Escrow with minerjones or Og if you like.
If you do decide to auction your physicals, there will definitely be some bidders.
As for trust, if you post some pics with your username and date and accept escrow, you shouldn't have too many problems with your 5BTC coin. I'm not too sure about the 25BTC coin, since it might be safer to meetup in person.
