How about this anyone?

You get the nice fancy frame and a little picture of the late Queen!
As for the coins, four of the five can still easily be obtained for face value from circulation. And a lightly circulated bronze pre-decimal penny issued between 1961 and 1967 shouldn't cost you more than 10 pence, or maybe 25 pence if that's the cost of coins in your local dealer's cheapest coin tray!
So how can they justify £25?
Another-Wonderful-Bargain-From-Westminster?-No!
They even have the nerve to charge £4 for postage and packing! They could at least have included that!
I would hope that not too many people are taken in my this 'offer'! What worries me is that Westminster has become the de facto distributor for modern UK NCLT coins, so you wonder how much The Royal Mint charges Westminster for the Winnie-the-Pooh 50p coins that they then re-sell for £9.99?

I imagine that their advertisements are prominent in grocery-store tabloids.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
