A buyer at the BitcoinTalk.org Forum bought both coins as a set on or about October 9, 2023. I shipped the coins without payment upfront and the buyer paid me upon receipt on or about October 12, 2023.
I was asking 0.02 BTC for each coin (about $500.00 dollars each at the time (and today (Nov. 12 2023) at current time about $740.00 dollars). I accepted the buyer's offer of that same price but for the set itself (or 2 for the price of 1).
Neither coin was loaded (with bitcoins) (nor have they ever been loaded). Each was unopened (the plastic protective cases). I've owned both coins since mint in 2016 by coinmaker Defcon23 (he sent them from France). Coins were/are both located here in the US.
Here's the SALE thread (with pictures and public replies from other users) at BitcoinTalk.org:

Defcon2 gifted me these two physical Bitcoins in 2016 because I was doing a book giveaway at the time on the Bitcoin.com Forum.
I'm a mod over there (nandibear - forum.bitcoin.com/nandibear-u4151) , although nowadays (for a while now) they (whoever really runs Bitcoin.com now) have made it impossible to post, they claim it's broken and cannot be fixed.

Defcon23's reply in regard to gifting me the coins:
