    Send it to AGC, they will slab a piece of crap if you pay them!image
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I believe SEGS will.

    I've had success with them grading some whacky stuff lately.

    Right now I have a submission in including those "shrunken coins" that have been zapped down in size. It'll be interesting what SEGS does with those.

    I have a colorized ASE. It was never intended to be a part of my collection, just something to put on the coffee table.


    Besides, my 9 year old thinks it's "cool" and thats all that counts image

    Why buy that junk, then you want to pay for it to be slabbed. Remember the old addage "There's a sucker born every minute". Please reconsider even buying or you'll become one of PT Barnum's "suckers".

    Let us know when and if you get the grades. I have a few shrunken quarters. I wasn't going to get any until one of the board members (Goose3 I think?) showed me one at last year's fall Baltimore show. It would funny if they body bag it due to environmental damage.

    I bought one Unc Morgan; Peace; American Silver Eagle, and 1964 Kennedy.
    There is also the option of sizing and I choose the 91% (the least shrunken) size. The Kennedy is especially cool as it is the size of a SBA (maybe just a tad larger) and did not loose any of its detail.

    I also own a 1964 "Texas half"- a Kennedy a bit larger than a Morgan dollar that is also in with SEGS. I thought it would make a cool display- one small, one regular, and one supersized! -I'll post photos upon their return- they were submitted on 03/10 and SEGS is taking about three weeks to grade these days. image

    Before you call it junk you need to make sure you know what he is talking about. There are several colorized coins that are being produced by government mints now and Canada makes a very popular series of hologram Maple leaf bullion coins. (Canada has produced at least two official colorized coins as well.)

    I do have at least two colorized coins in slabs in the reference set. One sample and one novelty.
