Wow. It's crazy to think these coins are worth over a grand now. I guess I hadn't really thought about it. I have one of these buried in my silver pile somewhere. I should probably dig it out. A great looking coin. I always wondered whether or not there was actual claimable BTC on these things, but I'm guessing since I haven't seen any complaints over the years about them, that the BTC is claimable. I didn't like these when they came out, but I'm glad I own one now and they've grown on me. A good collectible and one of the first Bitcoin themed mainstream coins.
As far as I know the 2nd version "Binary Bull" did have issues. Was it just with the pub address displayed outside or something regarding the private keys underneath? Not sure.
The first edition "binary eagle" seems to be fine, however I also believe it was one of the earlier coins to be plagued by fake-imitations.
Would be cool if someone with more solid knowledge would chime in.
What's current high-bid?
