Im unemployed again after 1.5 years with Kittyhawk they let me go.
OOOO! You think these colorized babies are ugly? How can that be? The guy on "Shop at Home" told us they are great investments.
Seriously I can't get over the stupidity of the people who buy this junk and the gold plated state quarters at inflated prices. If you really enjoy owning this stuff, fair enough. But be forewarned that every dollar you pay over face value for these mutilated coins is a dollar down the poop shoot.
The best advise is "Don't buy 'em." If you have to buy them, "Don't buy in quantity."
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
If I were into enameling coins, it might be interesting to color a few state quarters. They're by no means rare, so even if I screwed up badly I could get my money out of them! The designs are quite bland, but they're still good for practicing.
Is that even enamel? They look like paper sticker up close...
Anaconda... if you do, can I get a freebie super-coin of yours when you decalre bankruptcy and sell all of your coins... AND SNAKE BOOKS? I say go for it

In fact, I'm gonna sell my home and invest all the money in them. That will drive the price up.
Do you think that is a good idea?

Anaconda, I thinkyou're on to something but I'd recommend getting your house slabbed by PCGS prior to selling just to ensure you get top dollar.
YUCK!!!
