Colorized Quarters Found In New Olympic Rolls, Fluke Or Not?

I only found 1 going through 10 rolls.

Thank you for bringing this up I went back over my painted coins and I found 2 of the painted one's with the rarer 2 (not the counter sunk one's). I had 9 rolls = 91 painted coins

It has been noted that here are at least different die's used to mint this coin or more.
1) the non-painted coin with 2 lines on the maple leaf non-counter sunk 2.
2) the painted coin with counter sunk 2 and 1 lined maple leaf.
3) the painted coin with non-counter sunk 2 and 1 lined maple leaf.
i have 1 coin from Petro Can and it looks like the #3 in the list. Maybe they used left over minted coins for Petro Can in the rolls they look the same as the Petro Can one's?

Yes, you're right...it looks like the "regular 2" variety to me. Maybe someone should fire off an e-mail to them to alert them to this, lest people expect that this is the coin they will get.

Holy cow, this means something different, does it not? It appears that the "regular 2" comes in a "double-edged maple leaf" and a "regular maple leaf"; the former are not painted, but the latter are.

The "countersunk 2" only comes in a "regular maple leaf" and is always painted.

Sooo...instead of 2 varieties, there are actually 3!

I picked up three rolls this afternoon; roll 1 had 4 colourized coins; roll 2 had 13 colourized coins; roll 3 had 5 colourized coins. Roll 2 was a big surprise, with 2 colourized regular 2's with regular maple leafs.

To summarize:

Regular 2 / double edged maple leaf - not colourized
Regular 2 / regular maple leaf - colourized
Countersunk 2 / regular maple leaf - colourized

The hunt continues. Is there a Countersunk 2 double-edged maple leaf out there?
Is it colourized, or uncolourized?
