As collecting coins has continued to rise in popularity, collectors started searching for unique coins that could make their collections stand out: colorized coins. Colorized coins provided collectors with the desirable combination of Precious Metal content and artistic, colorful designs – these coins are perfect for building collections, such as Disney, Peanuts®, and more! For most colorized coins, the coin is originally minted as a typical bullion coin and colorized after by enhancing and highlighting the original designs on the coin’s obverse and/or reverse.
Colorized coins typically go through a special minting process by the mint of production, often times these processes are unique to each mint. The colorization of coins does not damage the coins or alter the intrinsic metal value if done correctly – it simply increases interest in collecting and makes the coin more attractive to display.
