Name New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 10:31 am I have recently aquired a strange coin. It is a regular 2003 silver eagle, but overtop it on both sides is some sort of picture/sticker/decal of Ronald Reagan. It is strange because it does not look like it was done by someone at home. The obverse has his bust, and the reverse has a quote. It is all in color. Anyone know what it is? Report this Post to the Staff

Doug58s Pillar of the Community United States 899 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 10:59 am If you look closely... it is an ASE covered with the painted images... not sure why someone would do that to a perfectly good coin... Report this Post to the Staff
Foxwoods Man Pillar of the Community United States 4901 Posts	Posted 03/31/2013 11:26 am Yup...the OP said that it was a regular ASE with something on top of it... I'm trying to find the origin of the "artwork" Edited to add: Found it!. Sold by the National Collector's Mint Edited by Foxwoods Man 03/31/2013 11:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

BamaBlue Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 4:38 pm I really don't like these colorized coins at all. I think it cheapens the beauty of the coin and it serves a purely emotional need to separate people from their money. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189340 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 6:07 pm I agree. You can put a sticker on anything, so they should just do it to a blank one ounce silver round.

cheezyfryes Valued Member United States 359 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 4:23 pm I've never liked the colored versions of modern coins, but this is even another level of horribleness. Who thought it was a good idea to do this? Report this Post to the Staff
