@dEBRUYNE & @MoneroMooo
Cool... thanks for those. Totally don't grok what any of that info's about, LOL but cool to play with anyway
So, just as a test using the info on the slip of paper that Smoothie included with the coin, here's what I got:
Smoothie had the example "Base64" text to print in the circle on paper, to cut out and insert under the hologram sticker, like this...
iOLI
b6/Kukeg
h23tC8Prlo
9OC0GF8mgn
djeI9ike
dji=
...which I had to use a jeweler's loupe to actually READ, LOL... my eye's gettin' old, man... heh
Anyway, that's...
iOLIb6/Kukegh23tC8Prlo9OC0GF8mgndjeI9ikedji=
...which I then used

88e2c86fafcaba47a0876ded0bc3eb968f4e0b4185f26827763788f6291e7638
...which then using luigi1111's tool, above, yielded valid Monero Address...

...and SEED WORDS...
sipped bugs needed biscuit feline neither dads sulking saga anchor safety geyser patio hounded peaches juvenile moisture radar oncoming agnostic yawning teeming budget gone radar
...which worked fine on MyMonero but (of course) didn't show any balance currently or transaction history.
So... bottom line? Smoothie, if you're reading this and you remember what address that example text on your little instruction sheet came from, maybe confirm that it's all correct and I successfully reverted back here, from the shorter simple Base64 all the way to seed words?
Pretty cool, if so. Good system
Just wanna practice this a couple more times before actually putting any XMR onto the coin, permanently.
Just 'cuz after all, y'know, 5 XMR going to this little fun "throwaway" coin just to play with today, may be worth equivalent of $5,000,000 purchasing power for my future grandchildren some day, LOL
P.S. {Edit} Hmm... maybe spoke too soon? Slight quirk apparently, I didn't look closely enough before, but just now I noticed that using those seed words to log in to MyMonero shows *different* address, in fact:
Account Address (Public)

IS this still "the same" however, so if XMR was sent to this it would still work...? Or...? Hmm...
This "seed" is not reduced. That is why MyMonero shows a different address.
-- put the 64 hex chars in box 2. then click the button "Gen 3. and 4." Note the spendkey is not the same. To make MyMonero show the same address, just copy the new spendkey back to box 2, then press "Gen 1."
