MicroSoul 0.01 BTC 2013/2014

[AnOtherBitcoinFan]

Hello,

I’m reaching out because a friend of mine recently found two funded MicroSoul coins by chance—one from 2014 and another from 2013. Both are still funded. However, I have several questions, as I’m not very familiar with this kind of item.

The 2014 MicroSoul appears to have been funded twice. Instead of holding 0.01 BTC, it has 0.02 BTC. Is this normal?

Is it also normal that they were only funded in 2015, which is when my friend bought them on eBay at the time? At first, I thought it might be a scam, but we removed the sticker from one of them to check, and the funds were indeed there!

I would like to know whether it’s better to withdraw the funds from these MicroSouls or keep them as they are to sell them to collectors. Additionally, I’d like to get an idea of their market value as collectibles.

Thank you for your time and for any answers you can provide!

Um... That's kind of a loaded (or Unloaded) question...

Gravitate fucked up, and he's a scammer.

I would suggest that If funds are intact, sweep them, and auction the carcass/peeled coin here.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for the response. From what I read in the topic, Gravitate just seems to have made a mistake with these commands, right?

I will try to dig a little deeper into the topic. Thank you once again!

If you have already peeled the hologram you should sweep the funds to another wallet. Nobody can trust that you don't have a copy of the private key.

Even if you hadn't peeled them, I would probably suggest you do that anyway. Due to the issues with the keys the premium (the amount paid over the loaded amount) is very small if there's any at all. The peeled coin with the hologram is still probably worth a couple of hundred USD depending on the condition of the coin.

OP Owlcats and Hox know what they are talking about. This is the advice to follow. Sweep and Secure the bitcoin in another wallet, then sell the coins. Be nice to the holograms by doing as little damage as possible.

Hey, thank you for your answer 

Yes, that’s exactly what we did for the coin where the hologram was peeled off. There are now two left that are intact: one from 2013 and another from 2014, double funded (I don’t understand why).

So, the price—if the fact that the coin is not peeled doesn’t make much difference to its market valuation, as long as we don’t take into account the BTC it contains?

the particular brand of coin needs to be peeled no matter what asap and send to another wallet imho, im interested to know if you are able to complete the transfer and if you private key turns out to be correct,  so get the liquid btc safe and sell coins empty on here is what i would to  good luck =)

If you check when it was funded you can be certain, some people load their physicals instead of making a new paper wallet or address to save coins. Altho, indeed, you should empty them up if not sold given fame the project has.

Ok, I’ll do some more research about these coins but I think I will empty them up.

Does anyone know why one of the coins was funded twice?

1 of 2 possibilities:

1- The maker double funded it on accident. This has happend over the years by various makers.. some mistakes, some just happend by chance. Even BTCC had a few double funded items!!

2- End user funded the coin themselves using it as a wallet.

If the fund dates are close, most likely the first one.

Thanks for the response! I think it’s option one that applies to my friend’s token.

Now, I’m having trouble determining the value of the coins once emptied. Do any of you know the market prices?

Don't think too many have been sold/auctioned here, but I think Stacks & Bowers auctions have sold a few.
You can see all their auctions and check the listings of each one here:
