    Anyone have one of these? Do they really look this good? They are from this eBay seller.

    I doubt it. These are NOT the pictures from real colored coins. I think the real coin will look much less spectacular

    Imagine your 1kg Libertad with this effect.

    Actually, if I had a 1kg Libertad, it would probably milkspot so a bit of paint might be needed.

    They could be perfectly legit, but no way to tell for sure until someone has a real-life picture. I have a coloured Britannia somewhere done in Germany (I think) and it is quite good, especially compared to the usual Perth Mint el-cheapo colouring that looks like it is done by the lowest bidder on Alibaba.

    I doubt you could get that quality of image on a relief surface. So I wouldn't get my hopes up. If they could get that quality of image on an actual Perth Mint struck bullion coin, I'd be buying one of each (depending on cost) but it's a matter of too good to be true I think.

    man, I'm not so sure. I have a colored canadian wolf. I'll post an image here later, and that thing is pretty stellar. I sold most of them way back when, but kept one. I'll do a video and send pictures so you can see the details, I won't flip it over, lol.

    They could well be the original images the coins were based off though

    If you have hundreds of kilo Libertads then I bow to your experience and stacking ability.

    I was going to make the same remark...hundreds of kilo Libs....wow! And I thought that Pirocco with his stack of 25 kilo Libs was very impressive. :)

    One of the nicest colored coins I've seen in a while.

    However, Stark, like you, I've lost my fair share of dough on colored coins. I don't buy them any more. The last colossal mistake I made with colored coins was the yellow bellied snake. That's when I said, no more. I now have probably a dozen...some nice ones. like this one, the black dragon, PM colored snake...the dreadful super silver coins...will unload them when prices goes back up...and a few more. But NEVER AGAIN. :) I wonder how that Avenger series is coming along. lol.
