[AUCTION] BP® Manhole Cover: Street Edition, White Stripe 1/1

[BitcoinPenny]

Welcome to another Bitcoin Penny® auction!

Today we feature a legendary piece of crypto-collectible history — the Bitcoin Penny® Manhole Cover: Street Edition, White Stripe 1/1.

This epic collection centerpiece began as an ultra top secret, special limited edition, art project originally conceived by The Bitcoin Penny Company to be the world's largest, solid metal, physical bitcoin. Abandoning all sanity in search of the perfect medium, we finally chose to create this spectacular beauty from a genuine, full-sized, custom-designed…MANHOLE COVER! Made of the strongest 100% recycled cast iron and poured in an authentic cast iron foundry, this physical bitcoin marvel is industry-rated for commercial use on actual US roadways!

Originally announced as a ninja drop in November 2017, The Bitcoin Penny Company released a very limited number of these Manhole Covers (10 serialized + 3 factory overrun non-serialized). They sold out quickly with TBPCo keeping the final three pieces (#6, #9, and Factory Overrun #2) in reserve for a future special project. And that project is finally here!

This auction’s featured Manhole Cover (No.FS2) is the second of only THREE pieces to be upgraded with an exclusive 1/1 authentic “street theme.” (See the first piece HERE.)

Titled Street Edition, White Stripe 1/1, this art piece has all the road-worthy features of a genuine urban manhole cover including its white stripe (authentic traffic striping paint mixed with highly reflective glass micro-beads) and several random street treasures such as a lost penny (2017 Bitcoin Penny® Commemorative Coin), a wad of old chewing gum (handcrafted from fine porcelain), and a discarded bitcoin ATM receipt (printed on waterproof 8mil synthetic paper). And just for fun, all those little street treasures are affixed to magnets so the proud owner of this 1/1 art piece may arrange them however, and as many times, as he or she enjoys! Plus, the bitcoin ATM receipt features all the real information from the actual funding of this art piece, so it doubles as a Certificate of Authenticity!

Add this ultra unique piece of crypto-collectible history to your private collection today!

Incredible BTC art! The owner of this item really turns out to be a lucky one ... there are only two such items, right? ^{[one with a yellow stripe the second white]}.

If my memory serves me, the first such art was sold for more than 1 bitcoin.

Thank you for the kind words, icopress!

Yes, we created only two of these unique "Street Edition" Manhole Covers — Yellow Stripe 1/1 and White Stripe 1/1. Originally, we had planned to make one final piece in the "Street Edition" style. However, we have since decided that the final piece should remain as it was originally made, and it should be donated for display to a yet-to-be-decided museum or other permanent public venue. Therefore, this is the last Bitcoin Penny® Manhole Cover, "Street Edition" or otherwise, that will be available for sale.

Good luck with the bidding, everyone!

I'm just wondering .. would you like to try putting this lot up for re-auction? Another manhole cover was sold for 1 bitcoin, and I confess, if I bought for 0.1 btc and sold 1 BTC, then with the proceeds I would rather buy an old collectible coin with the same denomination (minted 5 or 6 years ago).

I have not thought about putting it up - tbh I don't ever collect anything with the idea of how much I can make reselling it. I never sell anything from my collection either - unless I have two.

If I was to sell this, I would still then need to buy another one.

   Edit: Even when I have a 2nd or 400th one, I dont wanna give it up either!

I have very limited space and its pretty full lol so I have to let go of duplicates though now with @The_Crypto_Kid starting to collect he usually gets first dibs - however, he doesn't like to pay for any of it lol.

I got this delivered last week - it was first up against the wall while i tried to figure out where to put it lol.

eventually I will have a better sized table and it will be a bit taller and will have 2 chairs that go with it - with the big cover on the top and the smaller mini mhc on the second shelf.

but for now, it's in my living room the gum will be under the glass next time - BCP is sending me one without a magnet - the magnet currently keeps it from fitting under the glass

Wow, that looks amazing. Looking forward to the 2022 BP® Coffee Tables  .

[MoparMiningLLC]

put the mini MHC on the lower level - I have an actual table on the way for this which will be a bit taller and have 2 chairs that go with it so this is temporary in a way as the new one wont be used till I can build a bigger shop with a bigger office in which to put the table and chairs.

Looks epic
