COLORIZED COINS

Regarding last week's discussion of colorized coins, David
Lange writes: "I believe the U. S. Mint's discomfort with this
practice by private marketers stems from its own desire to
include such items in its sales catalog. Canada has been
selling colorized coins for some years now, and the U. S.
Mint is likely getting envious. While these gimmicky items
seem to appeal to the new generation of collectors, I
imagine they make E-Sylum readers all the more grateful
for vintage coins that possess real art and history.
