A little acetone will clean that right up!
Probably looked really good before the damage....Nicely done. Cheers, RickO
The paint flaked off since it was probably used as a pocket piece.

Colorful.
If I want to color a coin I'll do it myself!

I think that would be considered a federal crime.

You would be wrong.

To each our own fwiw
Maybe not a Federal crime, but a crime against my senses (rods and cones, well the cones anyway).
Acetone or Xylene? Not sure MS-70 would touch it. Or dip.
I'm going to flag this. I really believe this is the right thing to do here.
Before sending it to the melting pot, that would be a coin I would smash with a hammer a few times, run through the dryer, etc. Putting a symbol that has been co opted by those who destroy individuals Liberty on a coin showing liberty is wrong on so many levels.
Maybe it could join other like it with a swastika, etc.
Perhaps it's time to close this thread since it's causing at least one forum member to get hysterical. Don't forget that the U.S. Mint included the Confederate flag on one coin design.

Close it and call a hotline.
I believe the flag didn't flake. I think that is supposed to represent a battle distressed flag.
Good point. I think you are correct. Another theory is mustangmanbob hit it with a hammer a few times.

There's that pesky little "freedom of speech" thing to consider. There's lots of things that I find offensive in public life, and this is way down on the list.
Irrespective of the subject matter, it was well-executed. It appears as though the sun is also colored gold.
It actually depicts a specific battle-distressed flag:

I dont hate it, look at the reverse of this coin...
Think of it as more of the history of how our nation became what it is. Our country was torn in two by skewed beliefs and way of life, and later became a better union.

My first thought after reading your comment was a line from the movie The Patriot...Your sense of Liberty is as pale as your skin.
Liberty is much more about doing what is unpopular with the majority or those who call themselves "patriotic" than it is about anything else.
I would not spend money on one of these, but would not belittle one who would.
GACK!

Wow, I typed out a real diatribe and deleted it.
..... oh, and I don't really like the coin.
Did the same. Thought better of it.
where's my crayon's ???
I am from Kentucky, where we had families fighting on both sides. My wife is from Tennessee, where it was mainly (but not all) confederate. Her uncle is an active member in sons of confederate veterans. I know many many good people who do not view the flag as a symbol of hatred or racism. And I know many many good people who do. I know no one who likes the flag and views it as a racist flag though.. but I am sure there are those out there (though I think they are in the minority). It means different things to different people. I am a live and let live kinda guy, so it does not bother me. I can respect your opinion if it does bother you though.
punt
Not for political reasons, I just don't like or appreciate painted coins
