UPDATE: Once again, I want to thank you all for your patience during the frustratingly slow production of these precious little coins as well as all of the other coins and products that we've released behind schedule during this long pandemic. The good news is that industries across the board are starting to catch up with demands, including our beloved private minting industry.

Yesterday, I spoke with my contact at the mint. It seems they were backlogged a little more than expected on the larger size coins. However, she was happy to announce that as of this week, the mint has finally completed their biggest backlog of orders (for the larger 1/2 oz coins), and the next run of coins will be for the smaller 1/4 oz sizes (our silver and gold coins). This next run is scheduled to begin in just a few short days on April 4, so...WOOHOO!

In order to expedite orders, I've asked my contact to ship the silver and gold coins separately as soon as they are completed. The mint will produce all the silver orders, then start on the gold orders. That means there may be a 1-2 week space between receiving the silver coins and receiving the gold coins. We didn't want to wait on both orders to be completed before shipping, so they will ship the orders separately as they are completed. (We knew that you would want to add these precious little coins to your private collections as soon as possible.)

Once all silver and gold coins have shipped from us to you, then we will officially launch our 2022 year starting with the annual, and always exciting, Mint Mark Auction, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, I want to thank you all, once again, for your patience with the frustratingly slow production times during this global pandemic.

UPDATE: Yippee! I spoke with the mint, and the new dies have arrived, so everything is ready for the minting process. Actual production will start in roughly 2-3 weeks, which is the next time that all fractional weight coins (.25 ounce, etc) are scheduled to be minted. Once minted, they'll ship to me the very next day. Then it's time for USPS to deliver those beauties to their new homes!


Will do, Mopar.

Good morning to all you beautiful bitcoiners!

I wanted to post a long overdue thread where we can discuss all the many important updates of The Bitcoin Penny Company for 2022 and beyond.

First, let me thank you all for being patient with the delivery of our 2021 gold and silver collection. The minting industry has taken a small hit over the last few years with many private mints going out of business. That leaves only a handful of private mints doing all the work which, in turn, creates a longer production wait time for many of their customers, including TBPCo. Add to that the double strokes of bad luck we’ve encountered with the mint’s third-party die maker — one set of chipped dies followed by replacement dies of the wrong size — and the wait time has increased significantly. However, we hope that all of that bad luck is behind us, and that the 2021 gold and silver coins will be ready in just a few short weeks. (Fingers crossed.)

Second, I’d like to address the 2021 Mini Physicals DIY fundable coins that many of you are still eagerly waiting to see released. Common business sense says that a business should continue to release and sell products all year long, even when one particular product may be overdue for release. However, I struggle with that philosophy. Personally, I believe it is poor form to release new products while some customers are still waiting to receive older products (e.g. the 2021 gold coins). For this reason, TBPCo has remained quiet in the forums and social media, and we’ve avoided announcing and/or releasing any new products until the 2021 gold coins have been minted and distributed to our pre-order customers. This includes the 2021 Mini Physicals DIY fundable coins as well as several other fun and exciting products that are 100% completed and ready for sales and shipping. Hopefully, after the 2021 gold and silver coins are released in just a few short weeks, you’ll start seeing some of these new products and projects, including our first ever 2021 SILVER Mini Physicals DIY fundable coins. (Silver. Fundable. Collectible. Bitcoin life is good, isn't it?)

Once again, I’d like to thank you all for your patience while TBPCo waits to release the rest of our overdue 2021 products (e.g. Mini Physicals, etc.) as well as the release of our new 2022 line of products, starting with our annual Mint Mark auction to see your initials minted of thousands of shiny new 2022 Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coins.

In the meantime, I’ll update this thread every few days with the progress of our 2021 gold and silver coins, and I’ll be here to answer any questions you may have about that project as well as other future projects, Hopefully, we can keep this single thread alive with all updates for 2022 and beyond.

Regards,
Chris@TBPCo.

Woohoo! I'm in, son. I'll take 2 sets, please. PM incoming.

Sorry, everyone. I thought I had sent an update on the golds and silvers, but it seems that those updates were sent either via PMs or off-forum.

The latest update on the delay is that the third-party die-maker had shipped the finished dies to the mint, but they were poorly packaged (due to new employees, I'm told) and chipped during transit. The die-maker was supposed to rush a replacement order, and they were expected to be received at the mint by last week, but I'm still waiting on the mint to verify their arrival. Once those dies arrive, they're supposed to rush my order thru production and start minting immediately. As long as they still have plenty of bullion on hand, I'd expect no longer than 2-3 weeks for the final product to be in my hands and ready to ship. (Finally!) Until then, we're delaying the release of any of our other upcoming coins and/or other projects. We want to settle all the gold orders before taking any additional orders for new releases like our (to be minted at the same time) 2021 Silver coins, our very first 2021 Silver DIY Mini Physicals coins, and our 2021 standard copper Mini Physicals DIY coins. (As well as several other new projects that are either done and waiting, or will be done and ready to ship shortly after the gold and silver coins.)

The main lesson learned by this long wait period is that I doubt we'll be doing any pre-sales again in the future, especially during pandemical times when supplies and manufacturing are super slow.

Thank you all for your patience. Hopefully, you'll get some sweet bling bling very soon soon.

Chris@TBPCo.

Woohoo! Good luck, everyone! And a big THANK YOU to The_Crypto_Kid from The Bitcoin Penny Company!

Chris @ TBPCo.

[A Long Overdue] UPDATE:

As many of you know from our PMs, the 2021 Gold & Silver coins are behind in production. This started several weeks ago when my mint contact left work suddenly due to medical issues. (She's back now and in good health.) Unfortunately, my mint contact was hospitalized before she could send our production orders to the production house, so our orders were in limbo for several weeks. Recently, the problem was addressed, and production has begun. Unfortunately (again), this is the mint's busiest time of the year, so even with the upgraded "rush order," we're still looking at another 4 weeks until the coins are completed and in my hands for customer distribution. Unofficially, the mint is pushing to have these shipped before the year's end. Hopefully, there will be no more glitches, and these beautiful coins will be on your doorsteps before we can say, "pretty pretty bling-bling!"

In the meantime, stay safe out there and enjoy the holiday season!


Chris@TBPCo.

Woohoo! This auction has officially ended, and the winners are Chronicsky with 3 sets @ .0015 BTC each and PontiusTP with 1 set @ .0011 BTC!

Congratulation, Sky and Pontius! =)


Chris@TBPCo.

Yes, quoting the pop count as a marketing device doesn't mean a lot, unless the card is a perfect 10 grade. After all, there's only one card on record with a low grade of 6, but that rarity doesn't make it more valuable. (However, it may make the card more embarrassing to own. YMMV.)

Welcome to another Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coins auction!

One of our favorite annual traditions here at The Bitcoin Penny Company is the production of special Double-Headed (DH) and Double-Tailed (DT) Proof Coin Sets.

This year’s 2021 Double-Headed Proof Coins showcase both front designs on a single coin, featuring both the new ZPHR mint mark and the limited edition SN signature script mint mark below the 2021 date, while the matching Double-Tailed Proof Coins showcase both reverse designs, featuring both the standard MINTED IN USA as well as the limited edition S. Nakamoto signature script.

Only four (4) of these special 2021 DH/DT Proof Coin Sets have been minted, so they are quite rare.


AUCTION RULES

This is a multi-auction. Each of these four (4) DH/DT Proof Coin Sets will be auctioned SEPARATELY. In other words, you are bidding on one (1) DH/DT Proof Coin Set per bid. If you wish to bid on more than one (1) DH/DT Proof Coin Sets, then please place your multiple bids in the following (or similar) format:


Starting Bid: 0.0001 BTC
Bid Increments: 0.0001 BTC

Start Time: Immediately
End Time: Sunday, November 14th, 2021 @ 7PM EST (UTC -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 Sunday, November 14th at 6:55 PM, then the auction will extend until 7:05 PM. If another bid is placed at 7:03 PM, then the auction extends until 7:13 PM, and so forth.
