I agree will you all.
And not afraid to say that I will never buy another US Mint coin if they join the colorized camp.

The black base metal plated silver coins from the Royal Australian Mint are an abomination! lol

As an Aussie, we have indeed had them for years. But the quality just isn’t like the “aspirational” pictures make it appear.
The ones that drive me crazy are silver proof coins that have been painted black. This is straight from the Royal Australian Mint. Why have a silver coin if you can’t see any silver?

If anyone wants a colorized/gold-plated coin, they can always buy them from Mike “Sold Out, Limited Edition” Mezack.

Silver is a color, Gold is a color. Do we really need to add a layer of an artificial color on top of our coins? Ew, no, gross.

I would also stop collecting commemoratives if they begin to colorize them.

Colorization no! Now i wouldn’t mind every once in awhile a bi-metal coin..say outer ring of brass with inner silver etc., but colors….big fat no!

I wouldn’t buy colorized coins. Yeah sure other mints do it – that doesn’t mean the US mint should also.

I think they could make the design on the right in the pic above in gold or brass to make it resemble a basketball more, without resorting to paint

The only positive thing that I can see about the U.S. Mint colorizing its commemorative coins is that it would provide a milestone for me to finally say my current collection is complete.
