I was just thinking yesterday, how does grading a coloured coin work?
Obviously the actual wear on the coin is important but I suppose the paintwork itself is relevant too, so to what extent, and how do you grade paintwork?
edited, link didn't work sorry :(
AJ, the link to the item seems to be broken (ít wasn't me :angel:).
This one should work:

Doh, sorry bout that..yes, that's what I wanted posted thanks uni :good:
Just a bit off topic.
I can't wait for the first sleazy bugger to acetone a purple $2 and list it on eBay as a rare error the same as was done with the millennium proof 50 cent coloured coin :dodgy:

Oooh... and I just bought 4L of Acetone from Bunnings the other day... :yahoo:
Somehow though, I don't think that's going to work. They did say they put a protective layer over it.

I recon a couple of days in acetone will remove any sort of paint.
I may have to fire up the "Trout Mint" when I get home and post the results :diablo::laugh2:

Thanks.
So I guess it doesn't factor.

Yet another "value added coin" :dash1:
These are still easily available in mint sets for under $40 and you would be unlucky not to get a MS68 coin in the set.
Why on earth would you pay $40-$50 more simply because the coin is slabbed :dodgy:
careful sweetheart
I bid on that coin
didn't win it mind you

I gave away 4 of these sets last year as Chrissy prezzies.
All the 50cent coins were in great shape (unlike some of the offerings from RAM in 2013)
I certainly don't value them at $85 each, maybe in a few years :ok:
maybe
I think it looks fantastic & brilliant in the holder
I have a set to the side for the when i'm gonna send some stuff package
that one did come in as a MS68 - not bad at all for an unc coin
