These were sold in sets in all the coin magazines (and even in other non-numismatic periodicals) when I was a kid and novice collector in the late...
As @Michael K indicated, these are quite common coins. But they're fun. I doubt you'd get much money for them at auction. Keep 'em and enjoy...
.223 gold and .777 silver. And yes, it's an unusual alloy, but I like it too. I think it "works", aesthetically. I was unsure whether to call...
Hard to say from the pictures, but I think that could just be a streaky band of toning beginning to appear. It is possible that there were some...

Sweet one, @coin_nut!

Such a thin line between psychic and psychotic sometimes. :p
I don't recall seeing any pictures of that scene, either - not with detail of the coins- not before the Victorian era. I seem to have been...
Aww, man, you put dangerous ideas into my head, too.
Hi. It certainly looks like an AU coin to me. Pretty sharp. Welcome.
