Colorized Coin


Have you ever seen a colored coin?  One of my sisters came across this one.

According to info from here no U.S. mint has ever produced a coin that has been colorized. It is a post-mintage change, and no serious coin collector would be interested in them, as any coin that has been altered loses its value.

Looks cool to me. And I wonder . . . who's doing the coloring?

I'd say someone with spare time, a steady hand, and good eyes.
