You are pulling a sleight of hand and implying (falsely) that since it is not fiat money then it is ILlegitimate as a means of exchange (at least that seems what you are claiming. if Iam wrong, please correct me).
No, I am not saying that. Just because this guy is getting people to buy his homemade coins when they could buy assayed coins doesn't make him a monetary hero. It makes his customers dupes. If you want gold coins, then buy gold that is guaranteed as to content.

They are legit, but it sounds like they got raided also. http://sunshinemint.com/Bullion.htm
