Good answers everyone, I cannot agree more. I have to bin it now as my partner will probably see it and buy me one. What do you guys think of this rubbish advertising. This was in both National sunday papers, so no doubt many bunnies will buy them and years later wonder why the coin dealer either does not want them or offers 50 cents for it. Would you consider this an honour to pay $90 (About 55 Euros, 50 Pounds, 60 US dollars) for one of these chintzy $5 coins. They throw in a nice case as free, but the puffed up prices or each coin means that its included in the cost (Actually banned under our Fair Trading Act) and no doubt you will have to buy at least 3 coins to get it. That is a complete rip off and the wording makes it sound like being invited to pay this much for more of the same (Base metal coins dipped in light gold and with tacky colour bits on them). If they ever sell coins like Littleton Coin Company and National Mint its over priced rubbish.Įven worse is the flier says its the first of a series and each coin will cost just $80 each plus the postage and packaging at the same rate (We don't use the word 'shipping' in New Zealand).

The Bradford Exchange has a very poor repuation selling expensive and chintzy junk like painted vases, Kinkaid paintings and little statuettes - all of which have no second hand value and the high Postage and Packaging costs. Notice how they play up the word 'Gold' like the famous World Trade Centre dollars.Īnd a cypher is covered in Rhodium - some rare metal apparently. Its worth about $5 on a good day and it does not even look very well made and poor portraiture (Not sure if its made by some private mint - like the one that makes all those bogus nation sets like Cherokee Nation, Greenland and Tokelau). The coin is tacky, a crown sized coin, gold plated alloy (Read nickel or copper or maybe even cheap ass Aluminium brass - basically muck metal). They are selling them for $29.95 + $9.95 postage and papackaging (Excessive for a coin weighing 28 gramos) Our papers here had this insert glossy ad in it advertising these coins
