I for one will pass on these. I don’t care if they become super-rare-must-have items in 3 months, it’s just not for me. If I wanted colorized coins, I would have been buying all those gaudy colorized quarters on ebay.

The Mint sent these coins out to a private company in Massachusetts to be colorized, so you can imagine the scratches on these, with the back & forth shipments & to the Mint’s fulfillment warehouse run by a private company in Memphis. Flea market junk!

I think we all know these are the the first colorized coins ever produced by the US Mint, although if I remember correctly the Mint didn't actually colorize them. I doubt anyone needs a special label to tell them. Is anybody actually planning to buy these coins?

PCGS is the official Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame commemorative coins authenticator/grading company – NOT NGC! Buyer Beware!
