I'm a noob, and haven't dove into the crypto world yet. This week discovered a forgotten about relic given to my spouse in 2012...a 1BTC Casascius. (we had no idea what it was at the time, put it in a drawer and forgot about it.) Selling it whole seems stressful in a realm I don't know what I'm doing. Seems easier to just peel. Is it worth the hassle to sell? (ie. would I make enough extra and is there a market?)
my personal opinion is that its worth selling if its silver/gilt silver or already slabbed. if its a brass, unless you have a local in-person sale, prob not worth the hassle of worrying about shipping/escrow/etc. i think market is like 1.05-1.09 per brass casascius (haven't check so please DYOR). if you redeem you get like ~1.02 with the forks.
