Yes, that's our eBay account. We seldom use it, but we thought it would be a great way to spread the word about these awesome pieces. Looks like it worked.

As a result of my never-ending curiosity and child-like "what if?" philosophy, we had the prototype powdercoated in ANTIQUE COPPER.






Now that's a big 'ol penny!

The WINNER is DaveF @ .165 BTC!

Congratulations, DaveF! I'm sure your wife will LOVE her Christmas gift! Matching DAVE and JULIE coins!





Yes, after receiving the email at 2:51PM that DaveF had replied (and likely placed a bid), I couldn't log in at all...until around 3:30PM. Once I was able to log in at 3:30PM, I almost declared an extension of 30 minutes, but then I decided to just wait another 30 minutes to see if there was another bid. No additional bids by 4PM, so the official winner is DaveF. (You'll win it next year, GP.)

UPDATE: The FS1 and FS3 factory seconds have been SOLD. Only FS2 is still available. Don't miss this EPiC opportunity!

This sale is for one of three (3) FACTORY SECONDS examples of our famous Bitcoin Penny™ Manhole Cover Physical Bitcoins — our MONSTER record-breaking physical bitcoin from this year's TOP SECRET summer project!

Since these custom manhole covers were originally designed to be special art pieces, the foundry has been extra careful to save only the best castings. However, they did send us three samples of what they consider to be "bad castings" due to very tiny imperfections on the surfaces. In real life, authentic manhole covers have dozens of imperfections, so calling these particular examples FACTORY SECONDS is almost a funny joke. Regardless, we are offering these three (3) factory seconds Bitcoin Penny™ Manhole Cover Physical Bitcoins on sale at a very deep discount.

^^^ current high bidder ^^^

The current high bidder is DaveF @ .125 BTC , but there are still seven days left to make your highest bid.

What will YOU mint on our 2018 coins???

I told my wife that our famous DAVE is bidding on a matching JULIE coin as his wife's christmas gift. Mrs. Penny smiled and said, "Awwww," in a blushing, romantic, schoolgirl kind of way!

And here's a photo of our 2016 coin (aka the DAVE coin), won by DaveF.

Will our next coin be named after YOU?

Good luck, everyone!

Me

The last three characters of "OGily" are shown in the lowercase of our classic BP font. (The lowercase is simply a smaller version of the uppercase.) To make the last three characters appear in the common Arial-like lowercase design, we would need to change fonts to a common Arial-like design, and we can't do that. However, we are happy to make the "ily" as small as possible to stand apart more from the "OG," if you like.

We are happy to accept a cash payment, equivalent to the BTC high bid, based on the Coinbase price at the end of auction, which is currently scheduled for 3PM EST on December 13, 2017.
