I may find call to return again and will at least do you the courtesy of alerting you of sales / auctions of these coins elsewhere even if only to observe, assuming the likelihood of their being deemed to be overpriced by the OGs here. In the meantime, again but absent the 'sour-grapes-ness' of my message of last night, I'll wish everyone here the best for your endeavours and speculations

I wouldn't worry too much about it. When people are overly negative for seemingly curious reasons it typically says more about them then you. Obviously sales on this forum have slowed down a great deal, and the reasoning is extremely obvious although most people are in extreme denial over it...

These coins were once sold for less than $20. Obviously they would change hands quite easily at those prices. Now they're changing hands around $60,000. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that something selling for $20 is going to move more units than something selling for $60,000. I understand a lot of people here are in absolute and complete total denial about the fact that 1 BTC does not equal 1 BTC over time and everything that has ever traded hands here has been done with respect to the dollar value, but it doesn't change the fact that it is absolutely true. When it comes down to it, a lot more people have $20 to spend on a speculative coin then have $60,000 to spend on one.

That being said, this coin is one I wouldn't put in my collection. It appears to have some mold growth on it or something. It would never come anywhere near any of my other collectibles, so perhaps you further limited your pool of available buyers with that...

My advice, instead of being upset that you only got 1.05 BTC for this coin, be extremely happy that you just got $55,000 for a coin you probably paid a couple hundred bucks for if you've owned it as long as it appears. Tell anyone outside of this community that story and they probably wouldn't even believe you it's such an amazing return.

Good way to put it - but still sucks when viewed in BTC:BTC terms and not fiat:BTC. Ive watched the silver Cas coins go from 3+BTC to barely getting 1.3BTC and while the $$$ premium is great (and was often a rationale for the buyers of the precious metal coins) its hard not to be dissapointed when the BTC price barely exceeds the value of the coin and its various sidechains

sadly with the brass coins it seems like selling a peeled coin is the least risk and still pretty close to the same profit.
