I truly hope you don't believe someone will pay you extra 1btc for the brass coin itself. That's not happening.
I think I made it clear what I believe this can fetch, If you can or don't want to pay it it's up to you.
I think it's pretty clear you understand the value otherwise you wouldn't just jumped in to try and get it unpeeled

And using minerjones as escrow is already 0 risk. But i don't blame you for being newbie and looking for unrealistic prices and ignoring the minerjones escrow request.

Maybe low risk but just having a trusted escrow is not a guarantee here, maybe if he picks the coin in person, which doesn't make sense with the price mark you suggesting

With your price request looks like you're looking more for a scammer that will say anything you want to hear instead of legitimate buyer.
Good luck with your sale

The best way to get scammed is to DM someone who doesn't provide any meaningful details instead communicating in an open thread.
Also I wasn't looking for a seller just trying to understand how one would go about selling property with such high value which I would still love to get an answer for if anyone here got to do any trades for such value before

If the price is right and you're willing to use minerjones as escrow i may take it.
Dm me

What price are you offering ? LOL

When I wrote my post my assumption was that anything below 2.5 BTC won't be worth the risk / hassle.
I can consider lower price if we can mitigate my risk to 0 & buyer takes all shipping or delivery costs but I think my min price will still be much higher than what you have in mind

The only way Cas coins are going back to even a 0.5 premium is if BTC price goes back below $10,000. If you think that is going to happen, you can hodl your coin until then.

I'm not sure I agree. If "owning" a monkey pictures can be priced at 21M USD so can a real rare piece of bitcoin history.
also unpeeled coins will become rarer as BTC price increases. How much do you think this coin will fetch if there are only 10 left ? what about 1 ?

For me this is not about paper hands I want to keep the BTC but these coins are essentially glorified paper wallets. The risk of it being stolen / burn / lost are much greater than more modern ways to keep your keys,

As stated above I'm pretty sure this coins will fetch 2-3 BTC and up as BTC price increases, but at some point it will a major liability to keep them in this form without taking some serious security measures

Thanks. I've assumed as much.

Just curious if those ever going to fetch 2-3 BTC again how would one go about selling / buying such asset ?
Any physical items on similar value (200-500K USD) that were sold here ?

What would be the safest and recommended way to sell an unpeeled 1 BTC Casacius coin ?
I assume face to face meeting is a must as the value is too high for it to be posted.

Any idea how much these coins (2013 brass coin) should fetch on average ? 
I'm wondering if this is even worth the risk / effort than just peeling it and move the BTC

Lightning Send stuck "in progress"

⭐ Merited by o_e_l_e_o (4) ,ETFbitcoin (1) ,NeuroticFish (1)
I've used Electrum mobile to experiment and create a new channel with Electrum trampoline node.
I tried to send some funds to an invoice address but it is showing "in progress" for more than a week (the invoice has been long expired by now).
The funds were deducted from my channel balance ("can send" is lower) but I don't see any history of actual payments.

I think there isn't a path from Electrum trampoline to my payment target. I want to close the channel and open a new one with another node provider but I'm not sure what will
happen to the pending funds.
What is the process of recovering such funds ?
Will closing the channel send the entire balance ?

I saw that if I change the in "Lightning routing" to "Gossip" instead of "Trampoline" I actually get an error when doing new payments as it can't find a path.
Is this the preferred way for sending payments ? Seem better than having the transfer stuck
