[ANN] Bitcoin Penny® Mystery Rolls

[Cryptogreatdane]

A big problem i see coming is there is a organized movement on the US conservative side to bash digital currency.  However, there beef is with the soon coming central bank digital dollar. But i hear them frame it as digital currency. We need to get the word out that a centralized digital dollar from the government is different then bitcoin. A matter of fact they are completely different. Btc is the anti-digital dollar.

Which conference was this at?

Good morning, everyone.

Sorry for the late update. We've been going crazy preparing for / attending a big coin conference over the last two days and thru this Sunday.

Side note: What an interesting experience are these simple numismatic coin conferences! Only a handful of people know anything about bitcoin, and a few of them are vehemently opposed to it. In fact, our very first passerby on the very first day stopped to explain to us how bitcoin is a scam. Here's a brief snippet of that long conversation.

ME: Good morning!

CLUELESS IDIOT: Are you affiliated with the real bitcoin company?

ME: Umm...there is no bitcoin company.

CLUELESS IDIOT: Yes, there is.

ME: Really?

CLUELESS IDIOT: Someone's at the top.

ME: Actually, no one is at the top. That's the beauty of bitcoin.

CLUELESS IDIOT: Someone is at the top. That's the person with the server. And they can turn off the server and take your bitcoin anytime they want.

ME: [Opening my mouth to begin explaining the distributed ledger concept]

CLUELESS IDIOT: I don't know if you're aware, but bitcoin...blah blah blah...some fictional man that nobody can find anymore...blah blah blah...he ran off with the bitcoin server...blah blah blah...he has all the bitcoins...blah blah blah...the government...blah blah blah...illegal immigrant Mexicans..blah blah blah...

ME: Maybe bitcoin was invented by the Democrats.

CLUELESS IDIOT: I think that I detect a little sarcasm in that statement.

ME:

CLUELESS IDIOT: Hey, I'm ready to be proven wrong. Is there ANYTHING in what I said that you disagree with?

ME: Yes.

CLUELESS IDIOT: What part?

ME: All of it.


All in all, the experience is very interesting. These people desperately need schooling on bitcoin, and we're happy to take a few verbal punches in defense of the mighty cryptocurrency.

In the meantime, we'll keep you updated on the days' events throughout the weekend.

Thanks for supporting bitcoin, everyone!

Regards,
Chris @ TBPCo.


PS—Great question, Cryptogreatdane! We recently wrote a new visual guide to explain that, and we'll be posting the info on Monday after the conference.

Whats an accidental book turn orientation coin?

That's a very popular question with our little collectible coins. In the USA, the backs of our coins are minted upside-down in relation to the fronts. This orientation is often referred to as "coin-turn."

The second kind of orientation is sometimes called "book-turn," because this orientation resembles the pages of a book where both the front and the back of the page are printed in the same orientation. Another term for "book-turn" is "medal orientation," because many achievement medals are minted in this same "easy-to-read from either side when hanging" orientation.

Here's a visual snippet from our new BP® Collector's Guide showing the difference between the coin-turn and book-turn orientations...

Which conference was this at?

This was at the South Carolina Numismatic Association's 50th Annual Coin Show in Greenville, SC — our first attempt to represent bitcoin at a "real" [fiat] coin conference. You should've been there to see minerjones inform the naysayers that the USA fiat is not backed by anything either. (A lot of people think we're still on the gold standard.) Good times.

Chris

It's a free downloadable PDF guide. Available on the website in a few days. Just needs reviewing one last time for accuracy. Plus a short "About Our Coins" page in the beginning.

Here's another quick screenshot...



Honestly, I hadn't realized how many variations there are for people to collect. Including the annual double-head and double-tail proof sets (4 coins each), we've released an impressive 57 different variations over the last 8 years! Some of the variations are so rare that even we don't own an example!

Wow. Looks great.
Can't wait to check off what I've got and start the hunt for the missing ones. Probably many that are unobtainable, but still fun to hunt.

Nice! That is epic guys. Way to go. I am tempted to get a roll just for fun, are there any left?

UPDATE #3: Only 6 Mystery Rolls are left in stock. Buy yours today!

Inflation strikes again! Oh, the humanity!

[Cryptogreatdane]

Is anyone going to open their mystery roll. Im struggling with what to do. If someone does open, post pics of what you got.

I was wondering the same thing, my friend. I've very curious to find out. I can say that while hand-rolling all 30 rolls, I saw some very interesting and rare coins. More 2015 coins — standard and error — than I would have imagined, and some of them still super shiny! Plenty of the rare S. Nakamoto signature script coins from various years. And at least 1 ultra rare (of 4) 2021 Double-Headed Sample Proof Coin. (Normally, we mint 4 Double-Headed Sample Proof Coins and 4 Double-Tailed Sample Proof Coin every year. Our records show that we sold 3 of each in 2021. That explains the 2021 Double-Headed Sample Proof Coin that will be found in these rolls. I wonder if the 2021 Double-Tailed Sample Proof Coin in inside one too. Honestly, I have no idea, but it's a reasonable bet.)

Good luck, everyone! I'll be watching this thread closely.

Chris@TBPCo.

PS — Love the new Youtube Channel, CGD!

Chris and MJ,

Paradigm shifts are hard for people. I like the picture and the dialogue you shared. I can envision you and MJ being outwardly patient with difficult people like this one person and it makes me happy. Good work. Inspiring.

Love the doodle

All in all - ALOT of fun pulling amd examining what I received. Thank God for the list up above.

Great mixture, some duplicates but is to be expected.

2015 book turn error
Doge 2021 with and without serial
Mantis Cryptos
Zepher In lovong memory
4 mini diy physicals
2018 Julie

And alot of btc pennies I wouldn't have accumulated any other way. Duplicates will be sent out as gifts.

And the double headed sample is still out there. Better odds here than at powerball.

More cool btc pennies to add to the stack. Most are in very good or better condition.
