I'd pay quite a large amount for them Smiley. Though I heard that there was a glitch in the code so they are not spendable.

To be clear:
  • The 50 BTC coinbase output is not spendable.
  • The 15.44243457 BTC which have since been sent to the corresponding address are spendable.
Certainly true, but paying 100 BTC for 15 (spendable) BTC only makes sense if your interest in the private key is beyond profit.
