I would just rather not destroy the coin. It's a very nice and pretty rare coin. Ultimately if I can't find a buyer I probably will open it.

Understood. And can appreciate the fact you want to keep this cas in tact these will be few and far between. How would you recommend a secure transaction would take place for an in person exchange oh what now amounts to around ~$1mil worth of crypto? Just wondering how people are doing large transactions transfers now a days.

A trusted courier service is an option. I know there are a few members here that offer this service. From what I understand they charge a flat fee (based on value of item) along with airfare, hotel, meals etc. We do not hear about it much because these transactions are typically not made public.

The transaction can be done at the vault it's being held in. I did this previously last year when I sold my 10 BTC piece.

Last holdout of my collection. I have been tempted to open it a few times, but I would really rather find it a good home.

I am asking 25.5 BTC or equivalent of another major crypto.

Buyer must come pick it up at the vault it is stored in (North Dakota).

I don't know what the vue of all the forks are. But wouldn't getting the forks and selling the unloaded 25btc coin be worth more than trying to swing this deal? Just seems like a lot of effort and risk on your end. Why not just go that route?

I think that they still would come out ahead by a few thousand dollars (is that worth the hassle I guess is the question). There's about $7,200 worth of bitcoin cash (dividends), bitcoin gold $700 and likely a few others. If bitcoin sv is a fork ( I think it is? ) that's another $2k. The coin by its self worth a $2-3k.. so still comes out a head by a few thousand.

Does anyone have a website or app or whatever that you plug in a bitcoin amount and it shows you the dollar value of forks?

Just having the old uncirculated funds is worth a lot more than the forks or small premium in my opinion 🤔 but peeling such an amazing collectible woukd be almost impossible for me also lol I definitely admire you for offering before destroying 😉
