thanks for the PM.  As you state, this was won by Squall1066 at 1.16BTC.

I appreciate the interest, and am sorry it was not more clear who won.

Squall - you win at 1.16BTC

lets switch to PM for exchange

OK,

I will keep the auction going, but, I reserve the right not to sell.

Apologies to those who already bid in good faith.

yes, but with escrow and risk, that doesn't look like a great premium.

i also believe i have 1BTG worth another 0.015BTC

which makes my starting price lower than the face value.

umm.  it would have been nice if someone pointed this out, or is it obvious to you all?

So,

perhaps someone can help with this.

as i understand this, my bitcoin (created pre-fork) is actually worth 1BTC and 1BCH. 

with 1BCH = 0.09BTC approx (today), my physical coin is actually worth 1.09BTC.

is this correct?

i'm thinking I would be better off peeling off the sticker.

thoughts?

I have no PM from you. 

sorry

thank you.  current high bid

Please excuse any naivety.  I have been building up courage to do this for a while, and am somewhat intimidated by the process.  If someone knows a better way of selling than on this forum, please do advise.

Anyhow, here are the pics:




I am happy to do escrow, buyer pays fees.  This thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1955202.0 references minerjones who may be willing to help.

I purchase direct from Mike Caldwell in 2012/13 (I no longer have the correspondence, or packaging), and it has sat in a drawer ever since.

Here is a link to the actual coin:

Do ask any question, and especially advise if I am making some mistakes.
