PS — The list on page one of this thread will be updated soon. Thanks for your patience.

Seems like this beauty should be on the list; a unique error coin from the Zepher collection. If I remember correctly, this was sent back from the mint as the first test to show the design. It was great except for the fact that it was giant sized rather than the standard bitcoin penny diameter.

You're not wrong

Excellent resource indeed!

I won an auction a few weeks back for 3 BC Copper coins and this is a nice reference thread.

Visiting the website now I see a nice commemorative coin for 2021 but shipping to Europe is
pricey for such a small item, of course the more coins you buy the price per coin reduces.

Anyone else in Europe interested in a group buy?

Just stumbled on this thread. But I've noticed it's a bit outdated. If I'm correct, there's a 2021 Bitcoin Penny copper and a 2021 Dogecoin edition in circulation.

Anyhow, I have to say this is a great reference thread for long-time Bitcoin Penny collectors like me. You can find everything neatly organized on a single place. Good work, Mr. Bitcoin Penny! 

A few quick updates...

1. As many of you know, we were working with a new mint for our upcoming 2020 Copper Collection. The new mint would have changed our copper coins from their traditional 23mm size / 97.0% purity to a slightly larger 25mm size / 99.9% purity. The changes were minor, but we were looking forward to the slight increase in size which may have allowed for slightly more intricate designs on the reverse side. Unfortunately, by the time we were ready to start the minting project, the mint had been forced to re-examine its pricing structures, and the new minting cost for our coins had increased well above the original projected cost. In fact, it would cost us considerably more money to mint the coins than to sell the coins. While we're not in the business to grow rich, we are certainly not in this business to lose money either, as I'm sure you all understand. Therefore, we will not be changing our Copper Collection for the foreseeable future, and all copper coins will remain in the same 23mm size / 97.0% purity that we've all come to know and love. When all is said and done, this may be a good thing. Tradition is important to us at TBPCo, and we look forward to carrying on our traditions with each and every one of you, for many years to come.

2. As for the upcoming release of our new 2020 Copper Collection as well as our highly anticipated 2020 MINI Manhole Cover Physical Bitcoins, the current state of the new COVID-19 / Novel Coronavirus has temporarily halted production of all Bitcoin Penny® products. We understand that this delay may be disappointing to some of our customers who have been eagerly awaiting our next releases, and we assure you all that we will resume production as soon as safety permits. Until then, please be safe. Stay healthy, and follow the precautionary guidelines of your governments. Our hearts are with you.

Chris @ TBPCo

Thanks for the reminder. Updated.

Hi there, just wanted to say that the FS #1 manhole cover is "funded" with 0.01 BTC Remember? And the #7 is funded too with 0.01BTC as well. 

UPDATE: Added new info...

Chris

LOL The MANHOLE COVER Physical Bitcoins fall into their own special category of "Bat-shit Crazy, But Still Totally Dope Crypto-Collectibles."

On the other hand, they do feature the standard "penny" front design, so maybe they could be considered one of our standard coins, just a wee bit bigger. Yes, I suppose that we should edit the OP to include our MANHOLE COVER Physical Bitcoins.

Good call, Ticked.

Regards,
Me


EDIT: The OP has been updated to include all public addresses for MANHOLE COVER Physical Bitcoins.

Manholes. Are manholes not a BP Penny?

UPDATE #1: Approximate mintage quantities have been added to the OP. Please remember that these mintage quantities are approximations only. Many coins are used for fun promotional purposes, such as leaving one in the extra penny tray at the local convenience shop, dropping a few in grocery store parking lots, leaving one on a park bench, flipping a few into wishing fountains at theme parks, hiding many as prizes in geocaches up and down the east coast...you get the picture...so the full mintage is not always circulating in our beloved online collectibles world.

UPDATE #2: While researching our past orders for mintage quantities, we remembered that all 2016 SN coins were minted in the wrong alignment, making them all error coins. No non-error coins exist for our 2016 SN coins.

Chris

Yes, you're correct. I've corrected the OP. Thanks, MJ.

If anyone has a 16 or 17 dh DT or both, I'd love to find a mutually pleasing manner of purchase. Also in search of a cjb roll and 2016 canvas bag o'coin. Also a sjb non error coin. Please p.m.

it does, thank you

but what i meant is- i don't remember if i have those and can only check when i go home in some weeks which is making me more anxious lol

I know right? I have quite a few of these, but certainly not all of them. The double headed/sided ones will be the hardest to attain. What's the going rate per penny these days anyhow? 10 bucks?


Flip the coin over top to bottom. if it's upside down on the back, it's the medal alignment (error).

Compare it to a US penny. Flipping top to bottom (Not side-to-side) should show the other side right-side up. (Not an error)

Hope that makes sense?
