Considering selling a 5BTC and 1BTC Casascius and want some advice...

[No_2]

So I am thinking of selling a 5BTC and a 1BTC Casacius coin. I'm keen to get something a little better than face value for them as I think it would be really sad to have to peel them to redeem them. I'm conscious an auction will probably not achieve this. Advice welcome.

Pics of 5BTC coin:





Comes with a digital certificate of authenticity. Been sealed in a coin capsule since receipt.

Pics of 1BTC coin:





Base value of 5 BTC coin:
- BTC: 5
- BCH: 0.617
- BCG: 0.06
- CLAM: 0.00274
- DMD: 0.07
Total: 5.684 BTC

Base value of 5 BTC coin:
- BTC: 1
- BCH: 0.123
- BCG: 0.012
- CLAM: 0.00055
- DMD: 0.014
Total: 5.150 BTC

Dont peel! I am sure you will find buyers here!

Also correct the 1 BTC valuation...you have 5btc+ total
You copy pasted but left 5btc info

Tricky situation you’ve got yourself.
The Cas singles demand a decent premium (above peel value) due to the high demand.
The 5’s are popular too but you can expect there to be a smaller pool of potential customers. As such, expect premiums to differ somewhat. Most collectors don’t give much attention to the random forked coins on there and don’t value them much, therefore, when deciding on a premium, little attention is paid to the forked coins values (seeing as most collectors won’t be interested in buying to peel).
That said, you may be able to find a premium a little above FV although by how much I’m not too sure.
Your best bet would be to start an auction at FV (with all the forked coins) and see where that takes you.

P.S add some NSFW tags to the pics. That nickel looks sweet AF!

2013 1 btc for 1.15?  SODL

If you can do that shipped to me... I'll take it

Also... is that a booger below the "N" in numeris?

I think OP is saying 1.15 is the current peel value so he’d expect offers above that (at the minimum).

What is DMD? Do you mean BCD?

I would say start an auction at a little above peel and see where it goes.  No harm in starting an auction at you "lowest" acceptable amount.  If no one bids then you know where you sit with it.  If funds needed then you might need to peel or just sit on them a bit longer.

Those both look really nice. Would it be possible we could see an image of the back of the coins?

Also, you don't have to be exact, but where about are you located and would you consider a face to face trade?

EDIT: curse my slow internet - the images of the back just now loaded for me.

Throw them up on auction here, u will get many bidders

I think that they were cleaned, check out the scratches on the brass......

[naypalm]

I saw a 1-BTC sell for $12,976.00 that had speckles and scratches all over it. Even the grubby lookin ones sell high.

Good luck OP on your possible sale

I think the biggest challenge is the security in the delivery/shipping.

Great coins. Personally, I would only sell this to someone I can meet in person. Shipping these via the postal way seems insane to me.

Btw, there is also 0.5 BTX per 1.0 BTC on it. Price is currently very low but my guess is this won't always be the case.
