Title: Get YOUR initials minted on the NEW 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coin!
Post by: BitcoinPenny on February 24, 2016, 10:47:00 PM

Welcome to our NEW 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coin auction!

As a fun way to offset our upcoming 2016 minting costs, we're auctioning off custom initials on our upcoming 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coin!

What does that mean?

Our inaugural 2015 Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coin (SOLD OUT) has the initials "CJB" minted below the date on the front of the coin. (See photo above.) This year, we're minting ONE LUCKY WINNER'S choice of custom initials on the fronts of all our standard mint* Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins! (That's a few thousand!)

That's right! The highest bidder in this auction will win the privilege of having his / her personal initials of choice minted on the front of at least TWO THOUSAND of our new 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins!

What might that look like? Let's see a few examples using past Bitcoin Penny™ customers:

For instance, if forum member BG4 wins, he might choose to mint "BG4" on our 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coin. Perhaps minerjones will win and choose to have "MJ" minted on our coin, or TheAnalogKid might win and choose "TAK" to be minted. The possibilities are endless!**



What initials will YOU have minted on the NEW 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coin?



BONUS: The winning bidder will receive one (1) FREE 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ Limited Edition Roll (40 Special Mint* "SN" Coins -- see note below) as a special THANK YOU!

Start Time: Immediately
End Time: Saturday, March 5, 2016 @ 9PM Eastern Time (USA)
Extended Grace Period: There will be an extended grace period of fifteen (15) minutes following the last bid. When fifteen (15) minutes passes without a new bid, the auction will be officially ended. For example, if someone places a bid on March 5 at 8:55PM, then the auction will extend until 9:10PM. If another bid is placed at 9:08PM, then the auction extends until 9:23PM (and so forth).

Starting Bid: 0.10 BTC
Bid Increments: 0.01 BTC (1/100 of BTC)

The winning bid amount should be paid in full no later than seventy-two (72) hours from the end of auction. Payment should be sent to the following address: 1E44nDCkoEvttN8LSECzLDmnYNCqzjausH.

As noted below, we reserve the right to refuse any choice of initials which we deem to be morally offensive (ex. ASS) or unfavorable to bitcoin or the bitcoin community.

Please feel free to ask questions.
Thank you.

Regards,
Christopher @ The Bitcoin Penny Co.



*NOTE: This auction is for our standard mint coin only, which comprises the majority of our 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins. In addition to our standard mint coin, we will also be minting an EXTREMELY LIMITED special mint coin with the initials "SN" (for Satoshi Nakamoto) below the date. We hope this RARE and SPECIAL coin variation adds a little of the classic "coin roll hunting" fun to the Bitcoin Penny™ experience. Our 2016 Short Rolls (20 coins) will each contain 19 standard mint coins (with auction winner's initials) plus one (1) special mint SN coin, while our new 2016 Classic Roll (40 coins) will each contain 38 standard mint coins (with auction winner's initials) plus two (2) special mint SN coins. In addition, we will be producing new 2016 Limited Edition Rolls which will each contain FORTY (40) of our special mint SN coins. Production of our 2016 Limited Edition Rolls will be limited to ten (10) rolls only. Once again, this auction is for our standard mint coins only, which will comprise the majority of our 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins.


**NOTE: We reserve the right to refuse any choice of initials which we deem to be morally offensive (ex. ASS) or unfavorable to bitcoin or the bitcoin community.

What is the max amount of characters?

Great question!

Traditionally, you'll find either two (2) or three (3) characters minted on U.S. coins which represent the initials of the artist who created the artwork / coin design. (Which is the reason we chose "CJB" to be minted on our 2015 coin.) You'll find a one (1) letter "mint mark" on many coins, as well. (Additionally, we placed our "CJB" characters in the space where the mint mark would normally be seen on a U.S. cent.) So if numismatic tradition is important to you, I'd stick with one to three characters (1-3).

Technically, we may be able to fit four or five (4-5) characters below the date. However, those characters may need to be minted smaller or closer together to fit in the available space. And that may make the text a bit harder to read on a small coin.

To play it safe, I'd recommend no more than three (3) characters. On the other hand, if you have two skinny "I" letters as in our "DIGI" example above, then four (4) characters would fit quite easily.

Chris

I have a question...

If you win the auction, your 3 initials are minted on the 2016 coins and you get 1 roll of the special SN coins. But you don't get a (roll) of the 2016 coin(s) with your initials???

That is not what I mean. You win the auction and you will receive a roll of SN-coins but NO 2016 coin(s) with your initials on it, you have to buy those.?..

Interesting fact, there are 46656 combinations that could be added to this coin if using a standard 26 letter alphabet, 10 numerals and 3 placeholders.

1.7 million roughly if using 4 placeholders :D


*NOTE: This auction is for our standard mint coin only, which comprises the majority of our 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins. In addition to our standard mint coin, we will also be minting an EXTREMELY LIMITED special mint coin with the initials "SN" (for Satoshi Nakamoto) below the date.

In addition, we will be producing new 2016 Limited Edition Rolls which will each contain FORTY (40) of our special mint SN coins. Production of our 2016 Limited Edition Rolls will be limited to ten (10) rolls only.

It doesn't for me, I doesn't say you actualy win a (or several) standard mint coin(s). The way I read it is what you win is that your initials will be minted on all standard 2016 coins, not that you will win/receive any of these coins.

Actually you are right.
I missed that, all these standard mint, special mint things were messing with me.

I think this is what you actually win. Your name minted on all two thousand coins, and a limited edition roll with the SN.
-snip-

That's right! The highest bidder in this auction will win the privilege of having his / her personal initials of choice minted on the front of at least TWO THOUSAND of our new 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins!

-snip-

BONUS: The winning bidder will receive one (1) FREE 2016 Bitcoin Penny™ Limited Edition Roll (40 Special Mint* "SN" Coins -- see note below) as a special THANK YOU!

Thanks for this, I was thinking the same exact thing but missed the part about the roll of 40. HOWEVER... Does that mean all 40 coins in the roll are SN coins, or is it just two of the 40? :P

Also, Christopher - Are the rest of the 2016 coins going to have your initials again, or did I miss that part as well? Cool ideas btw! :)

Thanks! :)

As we originally intended, the winner will have his / her initials minted on all our 2016 standard mint coins. And as a THANK YOU for playing, he / she will receive a FREE 2016 Limited Edition Roll (40 special mint SN coins).

However, I can certainly see your point of view, so let me amend the rules. The winner will have his / her choice of either a FREE 2016 Limited Edition Roll or a FREE Classic Roll (with 38 standard mint coins + 2 special mint coins.)

Does that sound fair?

Good luck!

Chris

Let me clarify things a little with our products list (using owlcatz as an example of highest bidder):

  • Original 2-Pack -- two (2) standard mint OC (for OwlCatz) coins only
  • Short Roll -- nineteen (19) OC coins + one (1) special mint SN coin
  • Classic Roll -- thirty-eight (38) OC coins + two (2) special mint SN coins
  • Limited Edition Roll -- forty (40) SN coins only

As highest bidder, owlcatz would have his CHOICE of either one (1) FREE Classic Roll or one (1) FREE Limited Edition Roll. Does that make things a little clearer?

Quote
Also, Christopher - Are the rest of the 2016 coins going to have your initials again, or did I miss that part as well? Cool ideas btw! :)

None of the 2016 coins will have my initials. The only initials minted on our 2016 coins will be of the auction winner (for instance, OC on at least 2,000 coins) and the SN initials on our significantly fewer special mint coins.

I've seen my initials on enough Bitcoin Penny™ commemorative coins. It's time to let someone else enjoy the coolness for a while. ;)

GIGŁ, <----- (Hehe!)

Great question!

You may certainly pick the free Classic Roll, and I'm happy to sell you as many Limited Edition Rolls as you like.

However, if by purchasing "in advance" you mean that you would have the exclusive opportunity to buy one or more Limited Edition Rolls before anyone else on the forum, then I'd have to respectfully say no, as that may seem a little unfair to some other forum members. (After all, this year we are making only TEN (10) Limited Edition Rolls in total. Yep, we're serious about the word "Limited.") On the other hand, if you are asking if our Limited Edition Rolls can be pre-ordered (by anyone, regardless of who wins this auction), then a pre-sale is something that we can certainly consider, if that's something you're interested in.

We still have a few details / features to address with our new 2016 Limited Edition Rolls, but I can post any pre-sale info (price / ETA / etc) when we have it all straight. Should be in the next week or two, I imagine.

Sound good?

Chris

The lead time for minting is about three (3) weeks. Maybe one (1) more week for all our products to be ready for sale, so we're expecting an early April launch. Super excited! ;D
