qazwsxed New Member China 29 Posts	Posted 04/13/2011 12:23 am My friend has recently purchased some bicentennial commemorative silver dollar coins from 1776-1976 that have painted wolves on them. I was just curious to see if the paintings decrease the coin's value? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

I bought a colored State Quarter because its my home state and I like the design. Other than as a novelty, mine has no value above the 25 cents. Report this Post to the Staff

Do you have any pics? I usually don't like enameled coins, but you've caught my curiosity... Edited by Darth Anarchus 04/13/2011 12:46 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/13/2011 06:58 am In my opinion a "painted" coin is post mint damage to the numismatic eye but may have a premium to the general public. I recall finding a painted quarter in a roll one time. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Remember not long ago Montel Williams was on TV selling coins with presidential stickers on them. Those too sold since the general public knows very little about real coins and what they are worth. Note how many times even here on a coin forum someone asks how much something is worth. Most people don't even know about price guides, where to buy or sell a coin, etc. To many painted coins are worth more than the normal, every day, regular coins collectors want.

w1a9c8k5 Pillar of the Community United States 1348 Posts	Posted 04/13/2011 1:39 pm I have a couple painted coins (Morgan Peace ASE) that I got from buying a collection. I just put them away. I don't think it hurts the value since their value is mainly the silver content Report this Post to the Staff
