Not impressed either, but I don't see anything wrong with selling replicas. By the way, if that is a UK company (and it seems it is), why would US law such as that Hobby Protection Act apply to them anyway? While I would most probably not buy such pieces (never say never, hehe), people who like them may well purchase them.
Now that London Mint Office is, like other/similar companies of the Samlerhuset group, a little more problematic. If you buy a supposedly inexpensive coin, you may end up with a subscription. Which means you need to send future, unwanted coins back to them, or cancel the subscription which can be a hassle.
And yes, both company names (UK Mint, L.M.O.) are somewhat misleading in my opinion. Buyer beware ...
