Hi LMD, and welcome.

Just so you do not waste your time here, you won't get anything close to 1.5BTC for a Cas error here on the forum.

Multiple just sold this last month via Stacks at the $88.5k mark, and all were graded. On April 3rd, date of auction, BTC was right around $83K-$83.5K, so premium on a graded Cas error was around $5k, or 1.06ishBTC sale price. Even the grading did not impact sale price between the MS61-MS65 range. Being yours is raw, you can likely expect less premium than a graded Cas.

Just setting realistic expectations for you. The forum is more of a wholesale marketplace. If you are expecting high premiums I would consider an auction house in the future.
GLWS.

FWIW, believe there is a 20% buyer's premium at S&B, so buyers were ultimately willing to pay ~$88,500+20%. No commissions here, so might be able to get a bit more than .06BTC premium...call it ~.2-.25BTC for the right coins. Higher premiums however, have been hard to fetch as others have noted. Could change based on market sentiment at any time though...market dynamics have created unusual results in the past for the right collectibles.
