I personally do not see any value in physical bitcoin. Bitcoin gets it value from the security of the network and blockchain. Having something in your hand does not give you anything.
I think along the same lines as this.Physical Bitcoins don't necessarily have a value, unless there is a wallet stored on the coin. Otherwise, why don't I go make a bunch of copper physical Bitcoins, and sell them for $600? See where I'm going with this?
Physical coins are just for show, unless you have an urge to print out a copy of your wallet onto paper.
There's a fairly good market for these coins as collectors items though.
I would agree it's more of a collectors item. Some made of certain things silver/gold yes do have value on their own.
They are a cool item you could put your key in and put in a safety deposit box or something. But most likely you will be better off keeping coin "mint" as it seems to be collector's items.
