Both probably the same but i would say redeemed.  One day someone can say there was 5btc in here at one point.

Go with the loaded one though, more fun

The coins themselves were probably once more valuable with an intact 5BTC in the private key. Although, it's probably best they are redeemed, if you buy one and send it - even if it is using insured delivery - the package could be mishandled and the money taken. "I had bitcoins in there before sending" - is not something an insurance company would pay to test.


If it is unknown how many of the "Roll Your Own" coins there are, then I'd say that they are the most valuable.

I was thinking the same, they both seem to cost the same.  I guess it comes down to preference as I can load an original key just need to find an original holo.  Being a late load would make it less valuable however
