THE RUMORS ARE TRUE — Bitcoin Penny™ Commemorative Coins are CHANGING!

Starting in 2020, our classic Copper Collection will increase in size from 23mm to a slightly larger 25mm. This size change gives us a larger palette for more intricate designs. Plus, it’s easier to apply our custom holographic security stickers to your beloved DIY Mini Physicals (our physical bitcoins). In addition, the metal content is also changing from the previous 97% copper to a brilliant .999 FINE COPPER! And to add a tasty cherry on top of all this coppery goodness, our 2020 Copper Collection will be minted by the very same mint that produces our stellar Prescious Metals Collections! (And that means many more MS68 grades and above!)

While these changes do increase our production costs significantly, we plan to continue offering our little coins at the same low prices as always.

To help offset our increased production costs, we are auctioning seven (7) individual sample coins that we had minted in advance of next year’s release. These sample coins were minted in the same 25mm size and .999 FINE COPPER purity as our upcoming 2020 Copper Collection. They feature the double-sided SILVER EAGLE designs from our 2019 Precious Metals Collection — both the Right-Facing Eagle and the rarer Left-Facing Eagle. (We already had those dies in the 25mm sizes, so naturally we used them for these samples.)

Only ten (10) of these sample coins were ever minted, so they are quite rare. The remaining three (3) are currently being used for patina and packaging experiments.

NOTE: Once again, these sample coins are made from .999 FINE COPPER. They are NOT made from 1/4 OZ SILVER as stamped on the coins.

AUCTION RULES

This is a short 72-hour multi-auction. Each of these seven (7) sample coins will be auctioned SEPARATELY. In other words, you are bidding on one (1) sample coin per bid. If you wish to bid on more than one (1) sample coin, then please place your multiple bids in the following (or similar) format:


Starting Bid: 0.0000 BTC
Bid Increments: 0.0001 BTC

Start Time: Immediately
End Time: Thursday, November 21, 2019 @ 11AM EST (GMT -5:00).

Anti-Sniping Rule / Grace Period: There will be a grace period of ten (10) minutes following the last bid. When ten (10) minutes pass without a new bid, the auction will be officially ended. For example, if someone places a bid on Thursday, November 21 at 10:55 AM, then the auction will extend until 11:05 AM. If another bid is placed at 11:03 AM, then the auction extends until 11:13 AM, and so forth.

Newbie / Alt- Rule: Any bid from a newbie member whose registration date falls after the original posting of this auction may be subject to cancellation.

Since there are only 10 of these coins being made and one among the rarest Bitcoin Penny coins ever minted, can we have an auction rule like a user can bid only on 1 coin. This would make 7 different individuals to have 7 coins instead of 1 guy having 4 or 5 or 7 coins. I guess this would be a better idea since 7 of the unique collectors would be having a hand on these rarities. Hearing other's opinion on this!

1 coin @ 0.0017BTC

6 coins @ 0.0018

Fair play. 1 coin at 0.0017

My previous bid will stand until im outbid but il go with your thinking

EDIT- i got outbid whilst typing my reply. 1 coin @0.002

Thanks for playing in this auction, everyone! :)



That's a good question, H_H. Thanks for asking it. We used to hold our more rare and exclusive sales/auctions in that same way, with a small purchase limit per person. However, I've always wondered if it might be wiser to simply let the people bid freely and determine for themselves what bids or purchases are fair and responsible according to their own community beliefs. (In other words, I am not convinced that the seller should play the role of morality police.) In summary, this "no limit" multi-auction is a kind of experiment. However, I fully expect that, in the end, everything will work out in the best way. :)

Good luck, everyone!

Regards,
Chris

So it all depends on the fact if I feel like being a dick or not. Sounds dangerous Chris. :P

That's a little on the half-empty side, but yes. LOL I'm always reminded of the many times that we ran out of products, from those for sale like our 2018 GOLD pennies or those given away for free like our 2019 ZEPHER pennies. In all cases, there were a very limited number, and in the end, after all the coins were claimed, several members were generously offering one or more of their coins to other fellow collectors who had missed the opportunity. Sure, some people succumb to their greedier natures, but on the whole, I like to believe in the overall goodness and generosity of our unique collecting community here at BitcoinTalk.org. We're all in this together. (But a little friendly competition never hurts, either.) ;)

(And again, I am not convinced that the seller should play the role of morality police.)

Right, my bad ;D.


Can we expect auction(s) for the patina experiments?

Probably not. One coin — the primary patina experiment — is in my hands/pockets constantly, and I'm absolutely OBSESSED with it. I will never let that one go! LOL (Seriously, the slightly larger 25mm size and the finer .999 purity is simply an AMAZING upgrade! It sounds like a couple of very small changes, I know, but the final product is stellar!) The next coin will be kept in our vaults for future referencing. And the third — the one that's being used for packaging experiments — may or may not be raffled or auctioned away some day. I can't say for sure, but we don't plan to do anything like that with it in the near future. So for now, these seven coins are it.

Good luck with the auction, everyone!

Regards,
Chris

Don't make me hire Minerjones to pickpocket you!

I will be back tomorrow near the end of auction to have some fun(If not stuck on these boring meetings).

1 @ .0053 BTC


Just out of curiosity... how are these coins "packaged"? Do they come in a sealed display box or similar? I'm a collectibles-n00b ;)

Thanks for bidding, HCP. That's a great question. I totally forgot to mention that each coin will be delivered safe and sound inside an Air-tite brand protective capsule. :)

Chris

@Penny, I will take back my words. This auction is not going to go the way I thought as far as I am seeing through these bids.  :'( BTC prices are dumping and here the prices are pumping to get hold of this beautiful .999 coin  :o

NOOO, please! :'( Another guy is watching silently and would pop-in anytime sooner near the end and you both would solely take the auction prices to 0.02-0.03 BTC

1 coin @ 0.0085BTC

Final bid from me and probably won't win, will return back when you announce 2020 silver and copper pennies.

EDIT: Well played, Mitchell.

It was meant to bump up my previous bid, but I'll take two coins as well 😉

Ah! OK, I was unsure of your intent. (Strange things can occur in these multi-auctions.) I'll keep it as 2 coins then. Thank you, Mitchell.

Regards,
Chris

My apologies, everyone. It was rightly brought to my attention that the bid which should have been bumped by Mitchell's latest bid of .011 BTC was, in fact, Mitchell's previous bid of .01 BTC. Please accept my sincerest apologies for any confusion. The corrected board is below.

2 @ .012 BTC — greenplastic
