Topic: [AUCTION] The NEW 2021 Bitcoin Penny® has YOUR NAME on it! (Read 734 times)

www.BitcoinQuarter.com was just registered.

lol you messing with me today.

If they will only be the size that they normally are then that is really the only answer I need.

but you cannot tell me its a viewing angle that makes the one in the green box look larger than the one in the black box.

Oh, yes. That's because I spilled some water on that one, and it swelled up. Give it 24 hours to dry out, and it'll be the same usual size again.

Chris @ TBPCo.

lol at viewing angle - in your picture the one on the left looks considerably larger than the 2 on the right.

Two sizes? I don't know what you mean. They're all the same usual size. Maybe you're seeing an optical illusion due to the viewing angle. Try tilting your computer screen back and to the left.

Chris @ TBPCo.

there will be two sizes? and how soon can we order? would be cool if can be ready for bitcoin conference 2021!

UPDATE: The new 2021 ZPHR samples have finally arrived and they are looking sweet!

Full mint production begins today, so the new ZPHR coins should be here soon, and the official release will begin!


Chris @ TBPCo.

Excellent choice, my friend! ZPHR it is.

Chris @ TBPCo.

UPDATE #1: Like a distracted fool, I scheduled this auction to end today — the same day that we, in the USA, turn our clocks forward by one hour. (This changes our local time from EST -05:00 to EDT -04:00.) Since this change will most likely cause confusion to those from outside of the USA, we are staying with the original scheduled end time of EST -05:00. That means if you are bidding from outside the USA, the end time will remain at -05:00 UTC. However, if you are bidding from inside the USA, the end time will be when your oversized iPhones read 8:00 PM.

UPDATE #2: The current high bidder is blucepheus with a bid of .02 BTC.


Only 9 HOURS left to bid and win to see your mint mark on the NEW 2021 Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coins!

Good luck, everyone!


Chris @ TBPCo.

Thank you for the offer, crypto.farm. Unfortunately, this auction is for the mint mark space only, and that space is limited to a maximum of 5 characters. However, please feel free to place a bid if you decide on a 2-5 character mint mark that you'd be happy to see on our little coins.

In the meantime, our current high bidder is still blucepheus @ .02 BTC.

Good luck, everyone!


Chris @ TBPCo.

bid 0.02532BTC if you can fit "crypto.farm" somewhere in smaller format! or "crypto"+ ".farm" second line by removing the date or putting the date below the BTC symbol?
and top text "IN FARM WE TRUST"  

You’d surely sell a lot of them 

You're in the lead, blucepheus. How about this for our new 2021 mint mark?

How cool.

My bid:  0.02 BTC

Ha! I've thrown many, many of our coins into the beaches of SC, NC, FL, and even Lake Ontario on many occasions! Glad to know I'm not alone.

Thank you so very much for the kind words, owlz. (I hope to meet you in person one of these days soon too.)



Our main line are simple BTC-themed tokens with designs minted on both sides. However, we do offer a Mini Physicals line of DIY fundable coins with the custom security holographic stickers. And this year, we hope to release our very first Mini Physicals SILVER Edition (in very limited numbers)!

Here's a link to our 2018 Mini Physicals with plenty of example photos.

Please let me know if you have any more questions, blucepheus.

And happy bidding, everyone!

Chris @ TBPCo.

Sorry, new to these. Are Bitcoin Pennies loaded with anything?

Sorry not a bid, but I just wanted to add... Over the years, I've left/put bitcoin pennies of various years in:

• Store "free" change cups
  Dropped them in the candy row whilst paying for something else. woops!
  Thrown many into the beach and around such on the East Coast
  Hidden a bunch (Just a bit, still findable around many buildings just walking around on vacations and just in real life.
  Tossed them in random places people walk etc etc ... in the streets etc...

I guess my point is, Chris has given many of us the (fairly cheap!) way to introduce people to bitcoin in many different ways over the years, as I also give them to friends etc etc... 

I also recall:

A photo contest in which I won a roll of coins with a RFID chip in it! 

All the awesome BCP doodles (There is a whole other thread for that), and the annual DDP project!

Anyhow, I've always supported bitcoinpenny since I first came here and quite proud to have a pretty good collection, and have hoped to meet him someday as well!

I'd bid on behalf of our funny old friend TMAN with the word "BALLS", but I guess we've been there and done that already, but it always still gives me a good chuckle!

Sorry for lack of links here... but I'm just rambling as well.

Cheers again chris and thanks again for all you have done for bitcoin over the years... And ofc... The snazzy warm hoodie!

By the way... the current high bidder is actmyname with a high bid of .012BTC and chosen mint mark of ZPHR.

Good luck, everyone!

Chris @ TBPCo.

Thanks for sharing! This is great background.

Welcome to the exciting world of crypto-collectibles, Steeley!

Hmm...Well, like you, I got my start in the crypto-collectibles world right here on BitcoinTalk. In fact, my very first crypto-collectible purchase was a pair of Silver Wallets (Series 1) bought from Charlie Shrem back in 2014, IIRC. That purchase was a starting point to collecting, but it was really the community that kept me interested and coming back for more. We have some really great people here, and I've been fortunate enough to meet several of our members in person. And I still have plenty of good people that I hope to meet in the near future! (POST-PANDEMIC PRO TIP: International Crypto Conferences are an absolute BLAST! Buy a ticket, book a room, and get ready for a very exciting and fun-filled weekend!)

While we officially launched on our main website (and on our long-abandoned eBay account) a few months before showcasing here, we fully understand that it was the BitcoinTalk community that helped us get a foothold in the crypto-collectibles game. We owe everything to our fellow BitcoinTalk members, and we know it. That's why we always try to do special things for them when we get the chance. Maybe they'll receive a special discount code that saves a good chunk of money on our website. Maybe they'll get free gifts like during our recent Winter Beanies giveaway. But they ALWAYS get first dibs on any new releases as well as some of our traditional annual games and offerings, such as this very Mint Mark auction or our annual, limited edition (1 of only 4) Double-Headed / Double-Tailed Proof Sets which are ONLY available here on the forum. Again, it's our way of showing our appreciation to everyone here in the BitcoinTalk community. (We love you, BitcoinTalk!)

I hope that I answered your question. I tend to ramble, as you can well see.

Chris @ TBPCo.

Bitcoin Penny

Thanks for sharing the history of this. I'm fairly new to the hobby and was unaware this is the origin of the names on the coins. I have wondered a few times.

This is going to sound like an interview question. Can you share the importance of the forum to Bitcoin Penny and why you decided to offer this here as opposed to other public venues or just publicly in multiple places?

Welcome to the SIXTH ANNUAL BitcoinTalk Community Mint Mark Auction to see YOUR NAME minted on THOUSANDS of Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coins!


A LITTLE HISTORY

As most of you know, our inaugural 2015 Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coin had the mint mark "CJB" minted below the date on the front of the coin. Every year since, we've auctioned that same mint mark space to the highest bidder, and every year we have a TON of fun doing it! Previous winners include:

DaveF who chose the name "DAVE" to be minted on our 2016 Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coins! (That's why the 2016 coin is commonly called the DAVE coin!)

Greenplastic who chose the phrase "IRIE" to be minted on our 2017 Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coins! (That's why the 2017 coin is commonly called the IRIE coin!)

DaveF, our two-time winner, who sweetly chose his wife’s name "JULIE" to be minted on our 2018 Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coins as THE most crypto-romantic Christmas gift EVER! (That's why the 2018 coin is commonly called the JULIE coin!)

Ticked who chose the very special initials “AMD” to memorialize his beloved late mother on our 2019 Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coins. (You should hear the story of Ticked and his family’s year-long journey with these special coins. It’s amazing!)

Geophphreigh who won with his very special, heart-felt “MGHB” mint mark on our 2020 Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coins.


This year, the winner could be YOU!

What initials will YOU have minted on the NEW 2021 Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coins?

NOTE: This auction is for our standard mint Commemorative Coins and Mini Physical coins only. We guarantee a minimum quantity of 4,000 minted and released for the 2021 inventory.

NOTE: We reserve the right to refuse any choice of initials which we deem to be morally offensive (eg. ASS) or unfavorable to bitcoin or the bitcoin community. Additionally, each new year must be represented by a new name or set of initials. Since "CJB", “DAVE", “IRIE”, “JULIE”, “AMD”, and “MGHB” have been used for years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 (respectively), those choices are invalid for the NEW 2021 Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coins and Mini Physicals.

Additionally, to insure that your winning NAME choice is legible on the final product, we suggest 2-3 characters with a maximum of four (4) characters. In rare cases, we MAY be able to fit up to five (5) characters, but only if that NAME contains more than one skinny character, such as "MIIIS" or similar.

NOTE: We reserve the right to reject any bid / bidder for any matter of good conscience.
