Colorized coins

I sometimes buy colorized SAE's because they can go for less over spot than non-colorized.
Those of you who purchase these: do you remove the color with acetone or do you just leave them alone?

    I sold mine at spot.
    Didn't want to mess with trying to remove it.
    Local dealer bought it at spot so I sold it.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    The few I have, were given to me as gifts (obviously by well intentioned, but numismatically challenged, relatives).. so I just keep them. Cheers, RickO

    Best to remove it in case you decide to sell and are faced with a buyer who wants to discount due to that. Acetone works well and in some cases where decals are used, you would never know it was removed.
