So I've been auctioning some of my redeemed brass Casacius coins, and I see other posts about Casascius coins, both peeled and unpeeled. They seem relatively common. I'm glad there's still so much interest in them. They're a great part of Bitcoin history.

However, I don't see as much activity around the higher denomination Casascius coins, such as 10 BTC, 25 BTC, 100 BTC bars, etc.

Obviously, they're more rare than the 1 BTC coins, but how often do they appear on the secondary market, either here, ebay, or at auction? I'm really out of the loop on these things, but you guys seem pretty savvy about Bitcoin collectibles.
Are the premiums for larger Casascius coins similar to the premiums for 1 BTC Casascius coins, or are they larger?
Also, how often do the series 1 error coins show up? What kinds of premiums do they command? I've never seen one, but I'm sure they pop up from time to time.
I don't have any of these coins, but I'm still very curious.

Depends. not so much premium here, and seems the risk is higher in denom as the btc amount goes up, so here is probably a better bet as buyer, but maybe check for after-market/other if not wanting to deal here:

That's a great site. Thanks!

No problem, I love S&B auctions. This thread is helpful as well, and they just held an auction so you can also check how it went by eclipses post here:
