Have any coins from the past risen in value?
Some can, have a look at the silver forum, loads of info on there.https://thesilverforum.com/
This kind of advert is pretty much ALWAYS an absolute rip off. I saw the gold coin advert you are referring to, and I believe they said the weight was roughly 1 gram. For context, you can buy a 4 gram half soverign for £140, so to pay £99 for 1 gram is a total rip off:

If you want a gold coin for much closer to its actual value, I'd recommend buying from the royal mint.
BTW this is roughly the size of the coin from that TV ad you saw:

The royal mint is not to be confused with bulls
t companies like "the london mint office" and "the bradford exchange". These companies intentionally try to decieve with their name (especially the london mint office) and generally sell overpriced crap.
Another example of a rip off I saw was a company selling 6 1oz silver bullion coins. These would be bought for roughly £120 including VAT. Because they were in a presentation box and trying to take advantage of people not-in-the-know, they were selling them for £600! (EDIT: it's actually 7 bullion rounds so £140 worth including VAT).
They also sell series of collection coins which may be silver plated and worth pretty much nothing. They also do this thing where the price of the next coin is more than the previous, and if you want to complete the collection then it costs silly money for something that is worth nothing. It normally takes advantages of certain old people.
Look at this bullst!

WOW that is one expensive box.
there was a guy on one of these pawn broker CH4 programmes a year or so ago.
had I think his dead fathers collection of 100's of these boxed coins. thought they'd be worth far more as such- they were worth literally face value and had risen not one bit. sold in their 1000's, not rare, obviously 1000's about in good condition. hardly like flogging a 17th C sovereign as a poorly ref'd example.

I’d recommend a visit to the Royal Mint, it’s a good day out! My kids were possibly a little young to understand everything, (3&4) but the youngest can’t wait to go back to “coinland”!

You have piqued my interest now. Any stories?
Erm, many, but I have to be careful as they are extremely litigious to protect their "image".Let's just say their marketing and demographic targeting may not always be seen in the best of lights by the organisations which oversee and regulate such businesses.
They are one letter short of a coin IMO.
There was a crime documentary a couple of years ago covering a murder. Part of the motive was a collection of commemorative and limited edition 50p coins, assumed to be worth a fortune, rather than the actual 50p.
