The scam was those offering me less than the peel value of the coin.
Did you actually end up peeling it then? Shame if you did, as they are very easy to sell in pristine condition even if you ignore the inevitable lowballers. Only a few thousand of these coins were made, many were lost and redeemed already.
Now I look at the message again, starting to think it was the original poster who sent the private message on a different account because they were restricted, so apologies if that is the case.
