Hope this is in the right forum.
I have one of these which I didn't think much about until I recently discovered the address and funding issues they have.

It’s in a capsule. Serial Number is 400 something. It’s a pretty coin with the gold highlights.

My question is, is it better to peel the coin or leave it intact? This coin and a titan mint coin (which is now defunct) have been my only exposure to bitcoin. I liked the idea of a physical coin, and still do for very small amounts. But clearly the technology has moved on, and these are only collectibles now.

This coin does show up as funded on a wallet explorer site. But I as I understand, there is no way to know if the private address is functional without actually attempting to redeem it.

Glad I discovered this problem, by accident really, before selling it.
Thanks again!
