A physical Bitcoin containing 1 BTC sold for $91,500 at a Heritage Auctions event on July 26.
Physical Bitcoins are collectible coins with a private key hidden under a hologram sticker on the back. If you peel off the hologram, you can access the cryptocurrency—but doing so destroys the coin's value as a collectible.
Only 8,352 of these brass coins were ever made, making them rare.
The same auction also sold an unredeemed 0.5 Bitcoin coin from 2016 for $34,160. Only 900 of those were produced.
