MachinMachinMan Pillar of the Community Australia 1985 Posts	Posted 03/21/2025 6:55 pm Look extremely dodgy to me. Trying to sell an HPE "gold" coin as "pure gold" HPE = "Heavy Gold Electroplate" https://queenslandmint.com/shop/pro...n-wooden-box Report this Post to the Staff

MachinMachinMan Pillar of the Community Australia 1985 Posts	Posted 03/21/2025 8:14 pm But it's not pure gold, it's PLATED Report this Post to the Staff
MachinMachinMan Pillar of the Community Australia 1985 Posts	Posted 03/21/2025 8:19 pm There's an address for them in the Brisbane CBD but that must be a front. Their URL doesn't even have .au Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24876 Posts	Posted 03/21/2025 8:20 pm They plated it with a total of 1/10 oz gold. It doesn't matter how the gold was incorporated, whether by plating it on a base metal blank or as an alloy, as long as it actually has that full 1/10 oz.

I got one of those coins in a bulk lot I bought for $20. It's 16mm and in a capsule so can't weigh it without cracking it out (4.4g with the capsule) No way there's 3.1 grams of gold in it.
