Before you peel it, try to sell it, you might get 20-40% premium on the value...

Any reason you are going with Coinbase? There are lower fee places. I do use them but accept the fact that it's costing me a bit of $.

Where are you located?

In addition to what @LoyceV said about doing it offline, there are some other tools out there that also work offline but are a bit more difficult to use.

Keep in mind that for what you are doing you really have to be moving the entire balance to the exchange. Otherwise you have to worry about where any change from the transaction is going.

What type of coin and what amount? As others have said it might be worth a bit more $ then just face value.

As he is referring to Coinbase custodial service, it is not even possible.

What is in the mind of TadpolesIsAWinner is not about importing the private key into a custodial exchanges. What he wants is about a means he can safely sell his coin on Coinbase.

You don't need a new computer, just use one that you're certain is clean of malware.  Don't connect it to the internet while you interact with the private keys.  If you don't trust that your computer is free of malware (and even if you do,) the safest way to make absolutely sure is to create a live USB to boot the computer for temporary use.  Tails OS is probably the most user friendly, and safest for the less technically capable.  The advantage with tails is it comes with Electrum pre-installed and ready to receive your private keys.

On an online computer you would use a watch only wallet to create transaction you want to sign, and save it (.psbt) onto a clean USB drive.  On the off-line computer you would import the private key into Electrum, then sign the transaction, and save the the signed transaction (.txn) onto the USB.  Return the USB to the online computer, open the .txn file in Electrum to broadcast the transaction.

To help maintain history, if you get it graded I’d pay a hair over 1BTC.

I am interested in buying before or after grading. Where are you located?

One thing I forgot to translate in the video was that the interviewer said the dividend will maintain a low level for a long time, as funds need to be raised to test the 3rd Gen.

Do you guys know where can I buy some shares that I can convert to direct shares afterwards?
