Could anyone measure the exact length of some various holos they have? If many are over an inch, I think I'll need to buy some different labels that are wider so there's no part of the holo sticking over the edges. All my coins are packed up at a secure place an hour from my house due to moving.
I will do.... thanks I don't think I know of any holograms over 1 inch... Serp maybe? I imagine most coin makers are protective of their holos, and want to ensure people cant peel maker funded coins and have extra holos to use. So I expect that makers will want to seal their holos on a label so they cant be reused. I ended up finding my son's stash of coins. I give him physical bitcoins for the tooth fairy, as opposed to cash. I measured a number of holograms and found most start at 1 inch, with the largest holo in my small sample to be 1.25 inches. So I would need probably 1.5 inches so there's a little extra on the sides to allow room for error. Most of the space on the books have at most 1 inch going from the bottom edge to the bottommost text (along the bottom section) for a label but no more due to photo credits or the bottom chart. There is often about 1.5 inches from the top edge to the topmost text / chart (along the top section), but not much room left to right due to titles. My proposal would be to maintain use of the smaller 1" x 3" labels for use along the bottom right corner of each page, then a separate 1.5" x 1.5" square / circle for the holo only, to be used along the top right corner of each page, often over the page number. If I get a larger 2" x 4" label (or anything above 1") for both signature & holo combined, there's no room on the page without covering some text.

I think now is a good time to let you all in on the fact that I will soon be announcing (I suppose I am announcing it now) a larger hard-cover version of the book. While the content will be the same (save for minor corrections), the larger size will result in ample white-space on each page, meaning that even fairly large signature labels and holograms will fit on any page. The hard-cover is made to be put on display, and is made to last. You may be able to make an educated guess as to what I intend to do with 20 sets of labels.. Details to come.

Innovative idea right there! May I know how are you going to distribute the freebies? Freebies: BitcoinPenny Doodle Sketch Holograms on the labels (Nasty Fans, Lealana, Cryptofreeze, LuckyBit, Cryptolator) Some other surprises
Will there be raffles of some sort created after knowing the actual buyers?

Everyone getting a set will get all freebies as well. I'm trying to get all the coin makers to include their holo. Still a work in progress. So for those of you maybe not into autographs, I would think having a collection of holograms added to labels would be very cool.

Agreed, I'm interested in both but having the holos definitely gives another level of depth to the collection.

My hologram is 30mm. Which is just over an inch. having the holos definitely gives another level of depth to the collection. Glad I thought of the idea.

Will there be raffles of some sort created after knowing the actual buyers? Updated with some more holos added. I changed now the word 'freebies' to 'extras', since these are available to all people receiving a set, not just for select people who win them.

My understanding is that the Bitcoin Penny™ labels will include a small, one-of-a-kind doodle next to the autograph. (One label, combining autograph with doodle.) Less a freebie, and more a special flair to the autograph. Regards, Chris

But what I had in mind was to provide a 1" x 3" label to sign to fit on the Bitcoin Penny™ page if desired, like all coin makers, then a separate larger 2" x 4" specifically for the doodle, to maybe put on a blank page towards the front or back of the book. Whatever you prefer is fine with me. Just as long as we get your cool sketches!

Now that elianite has let the cat out of the bag, 20 of the 50 sets will be allocated to the Hard Cover edition. Same signatures, holos, and extras in both.
So those of you already with First Edition Paperback Regular or Signature books will be able to add these labels to your existing books. Anyone looking for the new book, can buy one of the new Hardcovers from elianite.
There will also likely be 3 sets allocated to minerjones for new sales of the Paperback too.
We're trying to appeal to both new and existing book collectors.

To add, the Hard Cover will be significantly larger in size. This means that there will be more white-space, and the signature labels will thus look much better. Since it is hard-cover, it is made to be displayed and is expected to be very durable (less likely to get bent, greasy, or stained like a paperback). Premium stuff.

I really like how the signatures and holograms have brought the community of makers together on this project. It took things to the next level in my opinion and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

I agree. I think its a cool thing to get all of us involved. Its great to get so much support from the community. I decided to go all out yesterday and contact almost the entire maker community, because I would like this to be a community effort. A few more are contacting me today. If anyone has a direct line of communication to either bhcoin or Ravenbit, please PM me. I've tried PMs (and emails to Tom at Ravenbit) to both, without success and would really like to have them part of this. Guldencoin is doing holos. Add also: cryptonic21 (Cryptonic Monero & Bitcoin)

First order of 1" x 3" archival foil back labels arrived. They blend in nicely with the color of the page. I am awaiting a second order of more labels as well as the 1.5" x 1.5" labels for holos. I should be mailing out some packages in a day or two. Here's a picture of one blank label on its wax paper, on top of a page in the paperback Encyclopedia.
