I genuinely have no rhyme or reasoning as to my close to hand little pile 🤔 

It just looks too bland to me, 50% of the coin means nothing, surely an image of Bletchley Park would have been more appropriate.

A quick Google shows that late Victorian jewellery could be made from green gold, using cadmium and silver.  I wonder if a naughty apprentice thought he could make a few bob melting down old scrap jewellery and casting a coin instead, and probably shortening his life-span due to toxic fumes during the melting phase.

BUNGLING BURGLARS 
FOILED AT BULLION
DEALERS
Burglars were baffled when their tunnel came up 50 feet short at Chards in Harrowside Blackpool.
Staff at Chards, the UK’s Leading Coin & Bullion Dealer were amused to find the gaping hole on Wednesday morning in an obvious attempt to tunnel into their underground strongroom.

Turned out to be Electricity North West doing some routine maintenance!

Hi Gary
I see I am a bit late to the party here as I've been tied up in meetings all morning. I really do not understand why you felt the need to air something that I thought we had already addressed to your complete satisfaction.
Since this is in the public domain I am respecting your privacy, but here are the facts to put the record straight. I am very proud of my wonderful team who bend over backwards to help people all they can, it is a shame when this is not appreciated.
You have purchased several times from us and due to the amount of money spent overall, we requested standard compliance information. The fact that we have these procedures, keeps our bank and our merchant terminal provider happy. We do not pass this data onto anyone and this was clearly explained to you in a long email from me personally. Bullion dealers are routinely targeted by fraudsters using innocent people's money to buy bullion that can be easily turned into cash, our request to you was strictly standard practice - nothing more than that.
This was your tenth order over a period of almost 7 years so yes, since you seemed so upset about being asked for ID and your orders are not of enormous value, I felt it reasonably safe to make a small exception in this case. You ordered 2021 coins and 2022 coins. Our database was out, so there were no 2021 coins available but I did have 2022 coins coming in. 
In addition to waiving the ID request, I offered you a discount of £43.46 or a refund for the 2021 coins.
You were not happy with this offer and requested a refund. My sales team processed the refund immediately and advised that it may not show up immediately on your account.
I am interested to know what else we could possibly have done to please you?
I hope that whatever pain you are in will pass soon.
Best wishes
Caroline
 

I think the 100g forum bar is ideal for this purpose, either kept in it's bag or loose in the little pocket of Levis/Wranglers.

Lovely 1806 NGC Ms60 half military guinea from @Dougall1 a great guy to deal with and my first British coin in my stack!! 
 

Perhaps my inexperience with NGC showing here, but do they ever slab fake coins on purpose and label them as such? No. So, it would stand to reason that any coin they slab has been verified by several experts and would not require the word "Genuine" in the description. If anyone has a slabbed coin to dispute this notion, please share your picture. Just seems suspicious to put the word "Genuine" in general.
 
Just debunked my own thought. They do use "Genuine", but they do not use and slab "Fakes". They will however slab replicas, but they use Genuine and Replica to separate the two. 

On it’s way got the magic 70 super happy 🤩looks great with this label

I ordered mine at around 15:50 and it was free postage.  I used to love 'lucky bags' when I was a kid, and 50-odd years later it looks like I still do, the worst that can happen is I won't have to look for Xmas presents for the family.

I don't care much for the monopoly money, but those coins are really attractive, lots of things to see in a small area.

I came across this, posting for entertainment purposes, make of it what you will. Interesting how the PM stamp is in middle of bar so each half has the makers mark, less arguments if splitting it with a mate ! This is a bit crazy LOL

I’ve just received mine, thanks BYB.

It does make you wonder why he didn't invest in a Canadian or US startup mine, perhaps the return was dazzling in Mongolia, 'all that glisters is not gold'.

Please put me on the waiting list as well, thanks.  I've just watched the the YouTube video with them all together, a great sight, and as you pointed out the work behind the scenes seems as involved as making them.

I apologise for any misunderstanding, it's a long-standing personal mistrust I have for any business that calls itself a misleading name.  A quick Wikipedia shows: A mint is an industrial facility which manufactures coins that can be used as currency.
