aint that purdy!!! I would say thats got to be a sticker because its way to good to be done by hand because if it is done by hand someone did one heck of a good job but I will bet dollars to doughnuts its a sticker

still looks to "perefect" to be hand painted or someone is a artist and took weeks doing that one coin, if it was hand done I like it, not so much what they did to the coin but from an artistic point of view its nice looking

I emailed them and asked if it was a sticker or hand painted. If you look closely it looks just like the silk screened one you posted clouds in the background and all the hand painted one doesn't have that, it is the coin color in the background. I still stick to my first impression that this is to perfect to be a hand painted coin

wanna put a wager on it? I will bid on the thing and if I win and its a sticker you reimburse me and I will send you the coin without the color. If it isn't I get stuck with a coin thats hand painted (which I am cool with) and I pay you double what I paid for the coin

These have been showing up all over lately, I've gotten several in a lot of US coins I bought. I don't condon using chemicals but in the case of these colorized one I have used nail polish remover to remove the paint without hurting the coin. In most cases just a light rub with a soft peice of soaked cotton ball. Sometimes letting it soak for a short time. Ron

if it was hand painted I would have to disagree but I am looking at it with artist eyes and not coin collector eyes when I say that
