Colorize Washington State Quarters

Use the search box upper left of page. It is legal tender. The coloration is done by a company not affiliated with the U.S. mint and adds no value to the coin. Most true numismatists consider it PMD.

I did read that it was basically re-minted at a private mint. I figured it was worth more than face value based on whole sets. Very cool to find though and will display it as a conversation starter

I wouldn't use the word "re-minted" to describe it. Just painted. The third party companies that painted them, over hyped and sold the sets for ridiculous large amount of premium. If I found one it would just go into my jar of packet change to take to the bank. If you like it, and want to keep it, cool! Just don't expect it to every be worth anything.

I see entire sets of these at auctions that sell for face amount or less. Plus the auctioneer gets their cut. Most times consigners would have been better of just taking them to the bank. Even full sets.

Yeah I dont fancy the painted coins ...
but if anyone wants to pay me 50 cents for a 25 cent painted
you will have to talk to my manager ... LOL I am Kidding.

I agree with Spence. While myself I do not collect them, both non-collector and new are often drawn to them. As to paying a premium, there is no difference between colorized and mint issued since both are sold above face value. Originally these sold well over face, and they still do. Only the number of potential buyers has changed.

I always wonder how much money is spent doing that.
