Topic: AVAST! Bitcoin Penny® Spanish Treasures Collection now be here! - page 3. (Read 3150 times)

End of the month has come and gone.... what is the deal here?
Apparently the copper sets have not shipped.
I keep getting more and more people telling me they are owed the gold coins  

People are still owed $$ fiat dollars from refunded payments but cannot get their funds due to failed e-checks meaning lack of funds in your bank account.

I also notice that neither of your listed BTC addresses hold any BTC...looks like they immediately get cashed out... circling back to your lack of funds in the bank account

WHERE ARE THE COINS ??
WHERE ARE THE FUNDS ??

Okay, thanks for the several insights and updates from BP and tothemoonsands and others.

I'll make an order (with BTC that high now) as soon as things have been resolved and when there are SegWit and Lightning payment options (with current high fees on the network it's more needed than ever).

I am still in limbo with PayPal and awaiting a refund after my first refund was cancelled. PayPal states it was cancelled by seller’s (BP) bank account.

PayPal updated the estimated resolution from Dec 3 to Dec 9.

thank you for the update.

Morning, Mopar.

Sorry for the late reply. I was on the road yesterday.

As for the remaining Spanish Treasures orders, the copper coins will be all shipped by Wednesday (only 6 sets left to make), with the remaining gold coins scheduled by the end of the month, with most shipping before the holiday, so that'll be good.

Thanks again!

has been 3 weeks - when do the copper pirate coins ship? Has been almost 5 months since they were paid for.

I would like to provide a public update for my order of 1 x 1 oz Gold Pirate Coin.

I ordered this coin in June, and was in communication with BitcoinPenny several times regarding shipping date over several months. As the order was paid via PayPal, I am approaching the end of the 180 Day Buyer Protection.
As such, I requested a full refund of the order due to item not received. BitcoinPenny kindly agreed, and a PayPal case was opened to ensure the refund was made prior to the expiration of the Buyer Protection.

Unfortunately, a week after the refund was initiated, I just got word that the refund failed. PayPal shows a “cancelled” status, and indicated they are following up with BitcoinPenny to ensure a timely refund. To be clear, this is an issue on the merchant (BitcoinPenny) side.

As a result, I have left a temporary negative trust on BitcoinPenny’s account. I will call PayPal to ensure the Buyer Protection case has remained opened and was not closed prior to the refund failure.

I still have trust and confidence that BitcoinPenny will resolve this in a timely manner. I hope to avoid the invocation of PayPal Buyer Protection on December 2, 2023.

Thanks for the great question, Fattcatt. You're right, there's a lot of confusion around the various weight measurements commonly used today. (One reason why I'm a big fan of the worldwide metric system. It's just so beautifully simple.)

Generally, an exact weight may be given by any one of the following three common methods — Kilograms, Troy Ounces, or Avoirdupois Ounces. For this particular project, we chose the kilogram method. However, for anyone who might prefer to know the exact numbers for all the various measurement methods, here's a quick breakdown:

Kilograms: 1.000
Troy Ounces: 32.150
Avoirdupois Ounces: 35.274

Thanks again!

      Super Big Daddy Bling Bling         ... just a wee little question

So? Is that 1 Kilogram TROY or Avoirdupois. I'm thinking Troy (like the rest of us) but would like to see the markings to reflect that

1KILO= 32.1507  TROY Oz. (roughly)

The troy system is distinct from the avoirdupois system that is customary in the United States. Importantly, the troy ounce is 1.1x greater than the avoirdupois ounce (oz avdp). In contrast, the troy pound is smaller, comprising only 82.3% of the avoirdupois pound. Today, the majority of prices for precious metals are given in currency per troy ounce.

The modern use of the troy ounce may appear outdated, but its persistence into the 21st century provides a fascinating tie to medieval times while also safeguarding the quality of precious metal transactions worldwide. Pennyman? You sell worldwide, correct? I know it's a small detail, but there are many collectors that would appreciate the defining of which unit of measurement you're using. That's a Big Daddy Deluxe      lol, I know it takes 2 hands to handle the Whopper, same scenario for this Big Daddy, huh?   

 

This hand-poured and meticulously (and laboriously) crafted 1/1 prototype is approximately 4" across by .56" thick and made of solid .9999 silver in a frosted/polished two-tone finish. (With this one, being a prototype, we didn't worry about fine-tuning the final weight, so while it's stamped as one kilo, it's really a little over 1.125 kilos.) We finally nailed down the entire production process of these silver monsters (which was much more difficult than originally expected with a million little annoying tweaks along the way), and the actual official Silver Mini Manhole Covers will be released as soon as we catch up on the current Spanish Treasures orders. Those will have the same overall size and weight as this prototype, but will likely have smooth / polished edges. (Personally, I love the rugged, hand-poured edges, but I understand that I may be in the minority in that respect and that most people may prefer their precious metals with a smooth and shiny finish.)

Wow!  What are the dimensions of that eye candy?

Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen. And agreed! Native SegWit and Lightning payment options coming soon.

In the meantime, please enjoy this unofficial sneak preview of just ONE of the many epic projects that have been taking ALL my time over the last few months and driving me absolutely BATTY (more so than usual). This particular project has been in the works since 2021, and the prototype is FINALLY here!

(Unofficially) introducing this marvelous beast — the 2024 Silver (.999+) Mini Manhole Cover (1/1 Prototype). That's right, it's a...PURE SILVER...Mini Manhole Cover!

Wanna jump in real quick, these coins DO look amazing in the pics, with Bitcoin on the rise I most likely will jump in at some point and place an order.
Not to be too annoying about it, but I wanna repeat I think it's about time you implement some Native SegWit (bc1q...) and ideally also lightning payment option. Any Bitcoin related business should have these options imho.
All the best,
KW

Well I'm certainly glad to hear that!
I don't need no refund, I want my coin goddammit

Don't worry. We've had to put few projects on hold until the start of the year, and this is one of them. We considered the possibility of issuing refunds to the 4 customers (and we still can, if one wished) and canceling the project, since it runs similar to another project that has been in the works for well over a year and is almost ready to reveal (finally!), but we decided to continue the project and just release at the start of our 10th year. But Mopar is right, we had considered canceling the project at one point recently. However, we decided against it.

Thanks again, everyone.

Chris@TBPCo.

Wait what?? I can wait, but nobody told me it's been cancelled altogether?! And I've paid for mine...

Good morning, everyone. Thank you for bringing to light our suuuuuper slow shipping and absentmindedness on this and other projects over the last 3 months. (And thanks to Anonymousminer for pointing out that this is unnacceptable for any business, regardless of it being ours in this case.)

As many of you know, we've been juggling several projects, many of which are longterm projects that are only NOW coming to fruition, and that means I've been absolutely scatterbrained trying to do everything at once. In fact, I haven't even had a moment to bump this sales thread in over 2 months! (I've been logged in with an open tiny tab on my laptop, but that one tab gets lost in the vast sea of open tabs among which it swims.)

That said, here's the status of this particular project...

Half the golds are already shipped, about 90% of the silvers, and only about 20% of the copper treasures. However, I'm committing to minting the final coins this week and next, so they should all be shipped out by then.

We're only a few short weeks away from having all these projects finished (finally!) and back on track for the easy train of production and delivery.

In the meantime, thank you to all friends, customers, and forum members for a successful (nearly) 10 years in this business, and we look forward to another 10 years!

Chris@TBPCo.

MJ has mine, but he did take a picture when he received them:

Test reply.

Hmm... I just posted a long reply, but it seems to be gone now. Let me try again. One sec...
