    I like this quote:

  • Those may be ugly but some the designs are actually improved with color.

    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."

    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.

  • Maybe if they colorize SBAs and Sacagecrappas, they'd be more tolerableimage

    i think they're kinda cool. if they were cheaper, maybe $20 i would probably get them.

  • You think they are ugly? I think they're really cool.

    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. image
    Buy the coin...but be sure to pay for it.

    I saw some colored quarters at Sam's Club once. Didn't like them at all, ugly ugly.
  • airplanenutairplanenut Posts: 22,149 ✭✭✭✭✭
    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? image I say go for it imageimage

    Sacagacrappa... that is brilliant! ROTFLMAO

  • wow. I like those. they are pretty. I don't understand some peoples aversion to nicely done coins like those.
  • Oh no, the Monster Toneheads are getting restless! When will PCGS slab the first one!
