Why are these so "cheap?"   

As far as I can tell most sales don't seem to include the fact that they include all bitcoin-forks since they were so early on the blockchain?

I'm not complaining as a buyer, but someday people will figure out these have value.

EDIT:  I'm talking in general, not this specific post.

Because I offered them at a higher price previously and only sold one coin.  I want them off my hands.  I'm sure time/effort/risk of doing the exchange is probably the major factor.  I also live in North Dakota so not a lot of opportunity for local sales.  I am not a collector.  I bought these as novelty pieces to show people back when I was introducing them to Bitcoin in 2011-2013.  I never intended them as an investment and I would personally rather have liquid coins I can trade, sell, or spend as I please.  I'm honestly they are not getting more attention, they are a rare piece of Bitcoin history.
