I would personally peel or keep it tbh… although 0.1 is probably also the only denom I would feel safe mailing anymore at current exchange rates.
Keep yeah…peel No!
Although you would make the few remaining more rarer, I would highly suggest you sell for a premium over peeling

Peeling a 0.1 BTC Casascius coin would be bordering on insanity. If there is one coin that still demands a hefty premium of more then 100%, it’s been shown to be this one. I wouldn’t even consider offers or even a listing price below 0.2 BTC. There’s just no reason for it.
Agree completely. I do understand peeling a brass Cas, but NOT a 0.1 BTC silver. You'll triple your BTC or more by not peeling.
Absolutely.
I'll start an auction on this sub as soon as I have the capsule and case (this or next week). The auction will last a week and start at 0.1 BTC. I would like to use OgNasty's escrow service. I'm a bit excited to see how high the connaisseurs are willing to bid.
Stay tuned.

Jeez - scams seem to be increasing rapidly. Report the post to admin - bottom right corner of message. Well done for spotting it too 
Ah, thank you! Reported.
Yeah, on mobile the linktext looks correct, and when you follow the link, the suspicious part isn't really visible in the address bar. I noticed only after clicking, have to pay more attention.
This forum member sent me a fishy looking dm:
Looks malicious to me? I added the caps lock.
Could you ban this user @Cyrus ?

Ebay no longer allows the sale of loaded items as of 9/21, or around that timeframe. If you list there the listing will be removed and your account may be suspended 
Thanks again everyone for the replies.
I'm torn between starting an auction here, or on ebay..
I'm currently waiting for some compressed air, a capsule, and a case to arrive.

I am less worried about my trust ratings since WoodCollector and his sock army flooded me with negative trust 
IMO auctions with high starting bids are risky because they can damage the value of the coins on the resale market if no bids are received. Low starting bid leads to true price discovery. Just IMO

100% agree with this, I try to always start loaded items at face value. This also creates excitement and attention with early bids. When someone bids once at a low price they are more likely to continue bidding.
Also, fingerprints and smudges.

These typically bring some of the highest premiums in the physical world. This coin would go for north of .3 I’m sure in an auction, or right at that. The higher loaded denom items are now priced out of the average Joe’s wallet affordability as Blue notes, which will drive the price and demand up for .1 tenths and lower denoms. High graded ones MS69-MS70 fetched around .4ish give or take in private sales I know of. Good luck with the sale!

Hey tritonus. Indeed I am still around here. The beauty of being passionate about something is that you can?t be torn away from it.
Good luck with your sale and let me know if there?s anything I can do to assist you in the process. Ah good, yes I'll come back to your service once I want to start the auction. What are your fees?
I remember using your service with an old account of mine, sold some mining hardware in 2014 😊.
Still the same 1% as the last time you used me probably and welcome back.
You should also leave feedback once you make deals on this forum so that you can easily find and point to past deals. This will help ease concern amongst buyers.
Sorry, my initial response was rude. The topic of valuations has come up many times over the years and this forum is the only place on earth where coin collectors discuss value in terms of multiples of face value. It’s weird and it never made sense. Do it if you like but… it doesn’t make sense!
IMO with fingerprints on it, the auction would be better off starting at 0.1 BTC, but I’ll be watching with interest to see how this goes regardless

You mean to tell me 1 BTC does not equal 1 BTC and the collector's value of these coins is based in USD? Be careful, I've gotten negative trust feedback from ibminer for even suggesting such a thing.
I wouldn't start the auction at 0.1 BTC. I think the last 2 of these coins I sold (somewhat recently) went for between 0.27-0.31 BTC if memory serves correctly.
All these years and people still doing “x face value” valuations, smh
lol what? Please tell us what we are doing wrong all mighty one! People asked what they are currently selling for..so we told them. What a weird statement to make.

Please do not clean the coin... just use compressed air to blow off any artifacts.
Good suggestion, will try it, thank you.
I bought it from an online shop but can't find out which one.. did Mike himself have an online shop back in the days?

Thank you everyone for your posts and dms, sorry if I didn't answer to everyone yet.
I think I'll go for an auction starting at 0.2 BTC. This could turn out pretty well I guess.
But first, some pictures. Took it out of the little plastic for the photos Will try to clean off the dust and fingerprints and post some high res pics in the coming days.

I know this is a newbie account, so escrow would be a must. Is OgNasty still around here?
