So don't use acetone on colorized coins. A large proportion of the so-called "missing colour error" coins you might find on the Bay are actually normal colorized coins that have been acid-washed; the colour is only missing because someone washed it off. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1373 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 9:50 pm I personally like he colored Canadian coins. I find them very refreshing from the same-old-same-old releases every year. I recently stopped collecting Canadian coins (I quit when they started releasing Chuckies) and acquired every colorized quarter, circulated and NIFC, aside from the 2007 Alpine Skiing and 2009 Xmas. Yes, some designs aren't much to talk about (like that 09' Santa), but many are well thought out and attractive. BTW, I also like the second-hand USA colored 50-state and ATB Quarters, but I'm not willing to pay more than 50-cents each for them. Report this Post to the Staff
redlee Valued Member Canada 170 Posts	Posted 05/13/2025 11:44 am I also collect the colourized coins, but often wondered about the life span of the colours. Do you think that in years to come the colours will survive even with proper storage ? Report this Post to the Staff
atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1373 Posts	Posted 05/14/2025 11:56 pm redlee, Canada has been making colored coins since 2000, and the ones I have all still look like the day they were minted. I'm not sure what they will look like another 25 years from now, but if I'm still alive at 95, I'll write you back and let you know. Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1748 Posts	Posted 05/17/2025 12:39 pm My Canadian collection mainly runs from 1908 to the last year of 98 pct copper or 100 pct nickel, from cent to large dollar. I just cannot get into plated coins. Sorry but that's my fault.lol. I love the rather unknown history of the 1968-2001 pure nickel coins. The nickel is most often from the Sudbury region of Ontario. That nickel formed 1.85 billion years ago from an asteroid/comet impact. That's why the RCM ARP ticks me off. It's destroying history.
