There are all sorts of "Grannybait" coins out there but quite frankly this is ridicules .
$129 + Postage for 20 grams of something that looks nothing like a coin.
Just a scratch an sniff piece of junk :dash1:

so do you think this is the 1st coin to get a pcgs 70+
70 for strike and lustre
+ for the yummy smell?
haha whata joke it might smell like chocolate to some but it smells like something else to me :angel: you would be better off just buying $129+ of real blocks of chocolate .

YUM :)
I can just imagine what one of the Grandmiscreants would do if they saw this thing on my desk.
OUCH there goes another tooth :angel:
I like the odd granny bait but this is just sad.
I like chocolate, but not paying for something with cook island on it, what is the original mint - Perth mint or new Zealand ?

:laugh2: ..... ya know, I was only thinking that myself earlier! He's definately got the look!
I have a very low opinion of Downies which is constantly confirmed by this sort of stupidity.
God I thought these were bad...

actually I wouldn't mind a transformers bar
Well I suppose... at the end of the day it IS an oz of silver. It looks like those trading cards that comes with a stick of bubble gum in your local newsagent.
Am I just old fashion? OH GOD I AM OLD :(
so long as it only cost 10-20% over spot.
I wouldn't pay $100 for a pretty 1oz bar
The bar in question is only 20g or 2/3 of an ounce :ok:
Yes but there is $50 worth of intellectual property right there from Paramount Pictures.
Never thought I would use the word "intellectual" to describe Transformers but there you go.
Does the "chocolate" have a Use By date on it?
When travelling overseas do you declare it as money/food? (personally I think it is neither).
How long before the sweet smell of chocolate turns rancid?
As for slabbing these "coins" I would hate to think what emissions they are giving off and contaminating the rest of the granny bait.
It does have that horrible brown smell attached to it.
I just spoke to the missus to ask if I could buy one for the sole purpose of getting it graded by PCGS and seeing what they do. She said I wasn't aloud to spend $160 on a joke :(
Someone has to do this!

No. Really, they don't.
Maybe people could paint bricks silver and chocolate and throw them through Downies' windows to get the message across instead? :diablo:
The chocolate coin must have been a success....

Geebus is there nothing that they can't think of to do to a coin these days, very very sad indeed
If you want delivery of that coins, remember the driver only carries change for $20. :)
I thought Downies would have been more professional than to keep churning out crap like this

You are joking.....a dolar is a dollar and Downies like to make a lot of them.
