Holy shit this sold for a lot! In my opinion this coin isn't worth nearly that much peeled, but hey whatever a buyer is willing to pay is what something is worth right. At this price however, this is typically what the 25 Casascius coin sells for. I've never seen a peeled coin sell for this much I don't think tbh. I've seen peeled silver 1 BTC Casascius coins sell before, but never for this much either. Personally if I was buying a Casascius coin without any bits on it I'd be going after the St Petersburg Bitcoin Bowl Game coin. I think you could get that for half the price. Cool coin of course, don't get me wrong.
You’d be surprised. My strong pulse based on recent private sales of peeled gold 25 is that they are actually selling for $8-10k with the holo attached and in good condition.
i think that the price range is quite okay, especially since this is a redeemed silver Casascius coin.
i am very lucky that i also have one that is not yet peeled.

and if more time passes, the Bitcoin comes even more into the mainstream, and then even in time more Cas coins are redeemed, then the collector value also rises
