I actually have not seen any gold versions. It sounds like they are more rare than the gold koalagrams.

I picked up two sets of Johnson Matthey and Mallory olympic stamps. Here is the first one.

Here is the second set. This set actually included the actual Canadian olympic stamps from 1976. As you can see this set is a bit toned.

Nice bars! I trust you got them at a good price? I still don't understand why they are not as popular as other JMM products.

On a side note, have you seen these Canada Post bars with different mint marks? They predated the JMM versions, I believe. No one seems to know or care who made them for Canada Post.

Interestingly, there are even versions without a mint mark like these:

Thanks Amaths. I got a good deal on them with a partial trade. I know there is a few more JMM stamps I'm missing that I will keep my eye out for now.

I know the Jacques Cartier Mint(JCM) of Canada made silver olympic stamps very similar to the ones Johnson Matthey and Mallory made. Here are some pictures of the Jacques Cartier Mint silver stamps.

That's it! Jacques Cartier Mint! Thanks for sharing.

Clearly there exist two finishes, antique and proof-like. There were also stamp replicas made of gold which I have never seen. Check out this thread, pictures of ordering form on page 1 and gold bar on page 2:

3oz JM Xerox round. Its hard to believe the premiums these go for on ebay. Luckily ebay subsidized a nice chunk of my purchase with ebay bucks.

Nice one! It got beads and looks like a coin. Is the rim plain or serrated?

Silverwolf, the 1/2oz JM bars are somewhat rare to find these days. APMEX has them listed on their website for $50-80 but they regularly sell on ebay for $30-35.
Collectors like me find them more desirable still in their original mint seals so maybe you would get more. Hope that helps.
