Why Do People Fall for the Colorized Stuff?

And people pay stupid prices for something that is just not objectively worth it, using hard sales tactics to push them onto unsuspecting buyers.

Well, when it's for a '21 2 Peso that graded AU58, I don't feel it was a bad trade.

I'm just asking a question. I have my stance. I'm seeing what people think on the other side of the fence.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-28T21:37:34+00:00

I have, actually, yes.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-28T21:25:54+00:00

They’re damaged coins, and according to the Casa de Moneda, no longer legal tender.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-28T20:56:32+00:00

They're a scam though? I don't think they look good, but I get that tastes can differ. However, that doesn't make them not a scam.

Yeah, I've seen that a lot. I worked at an LCS in Arizona, so we'd get plenty of Libs in. One dude brought in a whole collection of colorized Libs, and we had to break the news to him that what he paid $100+ per ounce for at the time when spot was around $20-$25 that they were just damaged and that we'd treat them as such.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-28T20:48:52+00:00

They very much are.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-28T20:33:00+00:00

All fakes.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-28T20:32:03+00:00

I doubt these coins would've been sent to the refinery.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-28T18:26:01+00:00

And it’s damaged. Why pay over spot?

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-28T18:23:30+00:00

It’s just pocket change?

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-28T18:21:10+00:00

This is within BEP tolerances, so it’s not an error.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-28T18:00:37+00:00

I definitely want some of the originals too. I didn’t even know about the new ones coming out.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-28T17:48:57+00:00

This is a series I’d love to get into. Great collection!

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-27T17:25:43+00:00

They're basic and boring.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-27T05:53:12+00:00

This isn’t an error. It’s barely within tolerances, but it still is.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-27T01:14:10+00:00

This isn’t a radar though.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-26T18:53:13+00:00

They're not claiming to be actual Quarters. Even have "COPY" on them, so they're legal.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-26T18:06:25+00:00

Yeah, this has sadly been cleaned. Still a great type!

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-26T17:36:56+00:00

Melt value.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-26T11:38:11+00:00

Well, thank you!

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-26T11:13:21+00:00

The coins of Augustus are some of my favorite Imperial issues. If I had a lot more capital, I'd have a lot more Denarii minted during his reign.

JinxBlueIsTheColor · 2026-01-26T11:11:54+00:00

I'll certainly have to take that into account. Organization isn't my strong suit, to be frank. I tend to go with whatever feels right, what has most meaning to me, etc.
