Am I missing something? Aren't these coins normally worth more?

Have an unredeemed 2012 1BTC I was thinking of selling, but I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle vs. just redeeming it myself.

[StackItUp]

omg... this what we were talking... that the funniest part is to buy it under load value. and here we are. i was sleeping, damn..
Sweet, Agrawas, you did it

first auction i’ve seen with negative premium after converting forks into btc.

Same.  This has got to be a case of the market not trusting the seller is legitimate.  I would have been willing to buy the coin at that price and let him peel it and send me just the coin with deducting 1 BTC from the auction price...  I'm curious what the outcome of this will be and if everything is legitimate.

Do most collectors here find Cas coins to have more value if they are slabbed (graded)? Also, on a side note, does anyone have recommendations for grading 1BTC and higher Cas coins? Would it be better to just do it in person at the grading company HQ? I would not feel comfortable sending a 10btc Cas anywhere at the current price. Thanks.

Graded is definitely helpful when selling, more so with a lesser known seller.   Besides giving an indication as to the condition of the coin when slabbed, It also shows that at least since the coin was slabbed it has most likely not been handled or exposed to contaminants.

For grading 1 btc and above I would just fly to St. Pete, Florida and have them graded by ICG in person.
