Face value of a silver one would be
(as of 7/2/19)
BTC 1.0 =10730 (swinging really wide today)
BCH 1.0 =404
Gold 1.0 =25
SV 1.0 =192
Silver Spot= 15
------------------------
$11367
thats about 1.06 BTC face value (so %6 checks out
)

)I would bid 1.1 each
I would also throw in a bid if you make a public auction. I would personally not hesitate too long, the since all the fork/shit coins are bleeding badly.

Would one of those james avery polishing rags ruin this?. its abrasive but might be helpful in this case? Just thinking out loud
I am 100% against any type of abrasive cleaning. I would accept the toning/patina as is as any attempt to improve the coin will almost certainly result in making it worse.

That only applies if you intend to peel a cass, which I would say 99% of the collectors here aren't doing.
Thanks!
Thanks!
What of the more casual sellers?
Speaking for myself if I had a brass one going for 1.1 BTC or less, considering the risk and hassle of selling I may well be more inclined to peel it.
I don't care if a buyer tells me the forks aren't worth it to them. I can get perfectly valid BTC for them.
ok you are the 1%
thanks!

I am thinking of putting a reserve on the coins - is that acceptable in this forum ? If they sell for 1 btc + 6.5% (or even less!) I would rather keep them, cash in via priv key with any forks as well and have them as shiny conversation makers.
You can even make a hidden reserve making a sha256 of a string with your reserve (and some salt)
Then just publish the hash in the auction OP.
When reserve is reached or auction is over then can you just publish the string for verification
That's exactly what I was thinking of doing.
Appreciate all the comments (from all) so far btw.

just start them at the reserve, makes it easier for everyone.

I think they will fetch more than 50-100 USD plus face.
I would love to see an auction

The total value of the forks that was discussed in one of the earlier discussions was about 6.5% of the loaded value if all the forks are present.
I was not considering the forks.
The coin alone, redeemed and cleaned up will fetch more than 100 usd in a public auction for sure
Therefor do I think the it’s worth more than 100 usd plus face

If you start the auction at 1.1 btc I think you would have bidders and that is plus 10%

Why not just start your auction at what you will take instead of doing a reserve

I would start an auction at face 1.0 for each with minimum bid increments of .001 or even .0001.
You won’t get much more than face, maybe $50-100 worth in BTC. You could create a “lot” with both coins if you want to ensure it goes to same person. Escrow is highly recommended, and your best choice is Minerjones. Essentially the buyer would send funds to MJ. You send coins to the buyer (or to MJ). The funds are released to you when either the buyer or MJ has the coins.
Good luck with sale! As far as oxidation goes, I think these coins still look nice and interesting...

Personally I don't include forks as part of face value for a variety of reasons, but that is definitely a fair point.
