hello again
I have posted here once before and I  really do thank some of your wonderful members for helping me last time.
This is my second post

I am selling a physical coin by auction on ebay and I am getting many many messages / questions that I am just not qualified to answer because I am a bit coin ignorant.


1. Some people ask me to tell them the code number on the back of the coin.
 If I do this is it safe ? or could it then be robbed ?

2,  Some people tell me I have a “pre hard fork coin” and as such it is worth lots more money.
I do not know what pre hard fork is, So is this true  ?
If so should I mention this fact in the sale as it still has over 4 days to run?


Thanks in advance to any of you who can advise me.
I honesty don't have a clue about any of this due to being old and technology dim :-(

If the code is a private key, they can and will steal your coins.  Don't do it.
2,  Some people tell me I have a “pre hard fork coin” and as such it is worth lots more money.

There have been two hard forks.  These are splits in the Bitcoin blockchain which essentially leads to having two separate currencies.  If you hold BTC at the time of the fork, you also then own the same amount of the new forked coin.

This means that the value of your physical coin is roughly equivalent to the value of Bitcoin, the value of BCH and the value of BTG, all together.

Yes.
