Just got an email from A***X...... they have a limited amount of Perth gold for sale at spot price plus shipping. Only catch is that they are colorized.... but still a great deal. Just a heads up if anyone wants to make use of it.

    ok....thanks .... not a bad deal...gold is gold. Can the color be removed w/o doing any harm to the coin?

    Little acetone will take it right off. Why did you block out the APMEX?

    "Why did you block out the APMEX?"

    Momentarily confused about the rules when referring to other commercial sites....

    Not necessarily. I once bought in some American Gold Eagle fractionals colorized red, white and blue, and as an experiment tried to remove the "paint." Took paint remover and a lot of elbow grease. The results were not pretty.

    hmmm...I've done it on many colorized ASE's and it lifted right off after a few moments.

    The color process on Perth Mint stuff is part of the minting process and cannot be chemically removed.

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    Does that hurt their melt value any?

    If they're colorized, I wouldn't want them anywhere close to melt. Probably not at all.

    If they're colorized by the Perth mint and the colorization(?) is removed, it's still a damaged coin even if done well.

    So those are kind of a lose-lose to me.

    Pass.

    Why would they be considered damaged if you could remove the colorization with no visible damage? You wouldn't even have know it existed. They make them w/o the color as well. If it cannot be removed that really sux and I would imagine it would be traded around the same percentage discount as scrap 14k & 18K.

    I would also pass on them unless I could have them 10 points back of melt.
  • WeissWeiss Posts: 9,941 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Cars, if you could remove the colorization without *any* evidence of it, these are still mint-issued products. Removing the colorization wouldn't necessarily leave a flawless coin if that coin was never made to be un-colorized, or if the un-colorized version had different surface preparation (mirror vs. matte proof, fields vs. device contrast, etc).

    Tampering with it might reveal a coin that was never meant to be.

    Moot point, really. I wouldn't want them because I don't really want Perth products. Any mint that releases colorized coins loses a degree of desirability to me. And it looks like they're sold out now, regardless image

    I wouldn't tamper with the coin but colors would bug me so I would rather buy the one without the color.

    I tried to remove the color from a 1/20 coin from the perth mint and it simply ruins the coin ...underneath the color there are very small marks ( laser etching??)

    sold it eventually, cause it bothered me everytime i saw it.

    Its not your usual paint or sticker job ...the actual surface is different than a non colored one.

    I prefer gold to look..... like gold. Even though they were a good price, had to pass on them.
