So according to the Elias Ahonen manual the Series 2 is a bit rarer. According to the best website tool to check for peeled Casascius coins the Series 2 is also still a bit rarer than the Series 1 coin as can be seen here....
https://casascius.ludvigart.com/status/My question is what are your thoughts on the the Series 1 vs Series 2 5BTC BitNickel coins? The Series 1 is an "error" coin so you can use that or don't use that in your thoughts and feedback. I plan to acquire both. My question here is what is more valuable in your mind and why? The more details and information provided the better and certainly more appreciated. I think both 5BTC coins are seriously undervalued and underrated. These are spectacular coins both series. Please give me your thoughts as I am looking so forward to getting every bit of feedback I can regarding both of these special beauties! Thanks in advance and again here is the book from Elias Ahonen link so you can compare to the best tool listed above that tracks everything in real time. The book Elias wrote while outstanding is a bit out of date. Thanks in advance.

Best tool I've found to track everything Casascius in real time:
https://casascius.ludvigart.com/status/Feel free to do just more than look at what I'm asking as this site offers it ALL from A-Z Casascius related! I only linked one function of the tool which provides endless functionality.
And here's the link to the Elias Ahonen book that is amazing but a bit outdated now. Still a very incredible book from a guy with a plethora of knowledge and a true physical collectible asset with a great reputation:

Apparently he has a new book coming out pretty soon which I recommend everyone buy if interested in any sort of physical coins!
Looking forward to any and all feedback and constructive criticism. Thanks for your time.
