Where do we go from here!
If history is any guide, a long slow deflating market until we've dropped 80% and shaken out all the recent bubble buyers, followed by a massive increase to new highs around the time of the next block reward halving. Maybe this time it's different...  It'll be interesting to see what happens over the next month although I have a feeling more adoption is coming. If it were to drop 80% from this point, I'm under the impression we'd see a shortage of coins. |

I've always valued these (brass) between $50-75 depending on condition, $100 if the redeemed hologram is attached and not marred.
Really - that's it?? Kind of disappointing; For that, it's definitely worth keeping as both a memorable and rare keepsake / piece of BTC history. In my mind yes. Unfortunately they were brass "car wash" tokens that were extremely inexpensive to produce.  Here's a good thread with some info: [CALLING Current Coin Makers] How was Casascius able to make his coins so cheap? |

I know about the database on https://casascius.uberbills.com/They have a Opened database which tells you which coin was opened however it was last updated at the end of 2016. Wondering if there is some easy way to check just how many of these remaining 23,459 coins took profit at $10,000 which took place today. Just want to see how strong the "Hodling" force is at $10K! Why would anyone redeem these coins at $10k? They will always have a premium value over their face value (and I suppose that includes the value of BCH and BTG). I'm guessing people don't care to deal with the hassle of a sale and worrying if the transaction will go through smoothly. |

Is the original hologram/key still attached?
For all of them the original hologram has been re-attached after being removed when the coins were spent. Based on offers I'm pricing these at 0.15 BTC each or 0.1 BTC each for bulk buys (10+). That's a plus but if they aren't silver that's quite high IMO. |

Very nice coin, I'm not sure I've seen this come up for sale redeemed before. A picture would help.  It would depend on if you had the hologram still attached and what shape the redeemed coin was in. I guess it could be worth more if you didn't redeem the extra coins although any buyer would have to be cautious since you've already used the private key. |

Interesting and will be watching for BTCC response, hopefully it has to do with the items being sold out as others referenced.

These are buyer funded only, right?
No, there are versions that did not have the "Buyer Funded" marking on them. The buyer sent the funds to the coins in those cases prior to them being shipped. |

I'd like to pick one up if possible, don't have access to my wallet at the moment. |

Sounds great, in general I wouldn't recommend selling a loaded DIY coin although in my eyes you're a trusted trader and if I was looking for one of these without the headache of assembly I'd send an offer over. Either way they should be quite happy with the return and I'm looking to gift some more BTC this Christmas as well.  |

If it's assembled and there is a serial #, it's most likely funded. A picture would go a long way to verifying it though.
Agreed, jaska please use imgur or something similar to share an image of the coin. Even though the COA is missing it will still have some value. |

I'll post some pictures later today. I built and funded the coin myself and gave it to a family member several years ago. They now want to cash it out. PM or post any offers.
Escrow accepted (buyer pays any fees). Shipping from USA.
My recommendation would be to help them learn about Bitcoin and cash the coin out with them / redeem extras. Since a family member originally built it I'd expect them to trust you to help with the redemption process. |

Escrow accepted? If so, 0.53BTC

I agree releasing the Bitcoin themed one first would've been a good idea. Is the final version complete or still in brainstorming?
