I'm curious how they can call an uncirculated coin that has been painted/colorized still an uncirculated coin. Isn't the coin now considered to be damaged? Which should knock it down from UNC status?


IMHO, being that the paint/color on the coins does not effect the actual wear on the coin, I would think that they are still UNC, but I think even a blind man would know that is artificial toning...

My mother wants to buy them. I told her don't waste your money and don't get them for me. For the same amount, I'd rather have old gold coins.

If you can market the candidate you can market the coin. People bought both.

AS far as the "Obama Change".... I also that it was defacing legal tender. If I ever got my hands on a set, I would check the Washington dollars for the missing edge lettering. If not, I have 2 bucks and some change! Thanks Obama....Mission Accomplished!!
