Thanks, I see it now, not on the main Casascius hologram logo but on the side, no wonder they missed it, who first found the error?

You can see the spelling error on the left side of the hologram (first picture).
The "S" of Casascius is missing there. It is not easy to get a proper photo of the holo but ANACS states the "Error" on the slab, too.

What exactly is the "error" on the casascius error coins i see for sale?
The holograms are spelled 'Casacius' instead of 'Casascius'.
Sure, here are some clearer pictures. It's tricky to get a good pictures of those holos. 
Hope they are sufficient.
I would never sell a peeled Cas Coin without mentioning it!

Has the error coin been reduced yet? These will become increasingly more difficult to sell as the BTC price goes up.
These will become increasingly more difficult to sell as the BTC price goes up. I'm not sure I follow that logic. Higher BTC price = more people who own BTC. More people who own BTC = more collectors. 2011 Casascius coins were the first ever coins minted for Bitcoin and they are becoming rare to see for sale. How does demand for these coins go down if BTC price goes up?
What is there not to understand? The higher the BTC price, the more 5 BTC is worth. If BTC goes to $1,200, who would spend $6,000 on a Cas coin. This multiples, the higher BTC goes.
And no one prices 1 BTC = 1 BTC, it is always BTC <-> fiat, which is why forum donations have dried up. No one is willing to put down 50 BTC for a fancy title, but they were willing in 2010-2012.
Logic
Collectors spend millions of $ for plain blue paintings*. So even $6,000 is nothing for a collectible with this historic background and rarity if bitcoin gains more traction.
So better buy as long as bitcoins are that cheap.

The way I look at it, no matter what you spend on a Casascius coin, you are buying 1 BTC (or whatever the face value of the coin is) and also paying a premium for the collectors value and rarity. A few years ago that premium would have costed you much less in terms of dollars, perhaps much more in terms of BTC. It fluctuates with the exchange value of BTC, I will agree with that.
If BTC goes to the moon, maybe you would be better off holding all of that premium in Bitcoin. The collectors value of the item would still go up, but probably not 100% equivalent to the increase in price of bitcoin. However if the BTC price remains flat or goes down, it's likely that the collectors value of a Casascius will still increase as we've seen over the past few years. One strategy is to buy a Casascius and then buy more BTC to replace whatever premium you paid in dollars. That way, you can maximize your ROI while still enjoying to your hobby of collecting coins. After all, these coins are not for everybody

The physical bitcoin market is properly one of the most true bitcoin economies we have.
It is not completely detached from the USD exchange rate, but the the prices are certainly not proportional, like you suggest they should be.
About you "always" statement, not true. You seam to not get the whole point of bitcoin, I assume you are one those that are here to make a quick dollar?
Beside, it would be naive to believe with certainty that we will have fiat based money in the future. Taken into consideration how short fiat has been the primary form of money in the world and how bad it is performing.
You are correct, I am taking this from a capital gain perspective.
