Thank you !
Are you ready for an auction ?
If you do an auction without hidden cap I'll be interested! 
There will be a reserve price, but not very high.
I think that's a turnoff for a lot of people but good luck with your auction anyways!

Were there any other coin makers that stole the coins? And thanks for the list of trusted makers.
Microsoul has had issue with coins not loaded or improperly labeled or mislabeled private keys...you can read further here..

Is it possible to check the "integrity" of the coin without messing with the hologram by the way? I would love to have the peace of mind that there are indeed coins on my coin, without having to break the seal. Seems like that is impossible though? Do I have to choose between breaking the seal and trusting blindly that there are funds on my coin?

One thing I've been wondering about with these funded coins is: How safe is it to get a set? Wouldn't it be possible for the seller to move the funds after sending the coin by saving the private key somewhere?
I'd definitely love to get some of these, but it seems risky for me (mainly because I don't understand how exactly they work).

You can't really grab the private key without tampering with the holographic sticker (peeling it off). So it would be pretty obvious if it happened. One of the reasons to always use escrow in case you receive tampered coins.
And what about the person who put the private key onto the hologram in the first place? Couldn't they have kept the private key somewhere?
Someone could use a solvent to remove the sticker but I'm pretty certain that would harm the luster on the silver (still obvious).
Smoothie (creator of Lealana) has, to my knowledge, never, since their creation, ripped anyone off by saving the private keys. Neither has Mike Caldwell (Casascius). I'm pretty sure all the keys are created on an air-gapped computer and tossed after manufacture. Yes, there's some trust involved, but we have years of this not happening as evidence that it won't.

To answer your question...yes there have been breaches from certain coin makers! But those are very rare. So its all a matter of trust and reputation. Top of my list would be Casascius, Lealana, Denarium,Titan , BTCC to name a few. So it is simply a matter of trust indeed.
Coinographic and Alitn were two of the makers that had their btc sweeped.
possible future auction for these two coins
Yes, please!

Like jajorda23 said, there's no way to see the private key without peeling the hologram
To add to my previous comment, these are slabbed/graded by ANACS. For someone to swipe the key, they'd have to crack the slab (obvious), take out the coin, have it reslabbed somehow, and then the verification number on the back of the slab would not match the photo of the coin you've purchased.

very nice set and both 69's sounds like an auction 
Thank you !
I'd go to 1 BTC for the pair, but I think you are far better off auctioning these to maximise the amount you get. Sure a lot of people would love these in their collection.
It's not a bad offer. I'm not sure about the success an auction could have, even if this set is nice and rare, I've the feeling that people prefers to keep their btc. I will definitely put a reserve price if they go for auction.
I will offer 1.1 btc for the set, offer is only good for the next 24 hours though

I understand, was only trying to open up the bidding. 
I prefer to keep them for that price...

Smoothie came out with a limited amount of coins with the gold holo. As far as I remember from his auctions only a couple actually made it into his auctions...these rarely come up for sale.

yes sir, auction would be a good idea!
Hi,
I would like to see if there is interest for a possible future auction for these two coins, or what offers can I get for these. Both are funded.
