Awesome New Coin - Thoughts?

[Danny-boy]

Hi all,

Came across a coin I haven't seen before, and I am in love.

http://firstcoincompany.com/S/usa-american-silver-eagle-golden-enigma-edition-black-ruthenium-gold-plated-walking-liberty-1oz-2014

I think it will be a love-it-or-hate-it coin, but I just have to have one.

Anybody else liking it?

[watchesandwhisky]

I think it looks pretty damn good, and a whole series would be nice of all the main bullion coins, the black really makes the gold pop out:)

[Cornishfarmer]

Love the look of it, just watch the vat

[HawkHybrid]

just a thought :

 

would you get the same look by dipping a gilded gold on

silver in that detergent solution turning the silver black

but leaving the unreactive gold as is?

I thought of that after seeing the coin the Dr dipped in bleach.

I wonder if it'd work.

[BaldyBob]

Yep...definitely a marmite coin...

So milk spots will be black I suppose?

Chocolate-milk spots!!! lol Yummy!

 

Don't actually like it much myself. I have never been keen on coloured or gilded coins. Silver should be silver, and gold should be gold!!!

[daniel.yrh]

neither do I, I hate aftermarket cosmetic surgeries. 

 

go to nearby art shops and buy yourself a tube of acrylic paint; gold and black. Pick up a piece of silver eagle (you may bargain for lower price for toned/spotted copies), and enjoy your evening painting your coin!

Looks horrible to me in the pictures

 

Maybe in person or other photos of the coin will change my opinion.

Anyone know why the eagle side is not gold? on all colored ASE coins I can find none have done the eagle side, is there a reason for this?

sounds like a fun task ! it is still silver underneath regardless of outcome

 

get some red, white and blue paint

 

Add slogans of

" USA - USA - USA ! "

" land of the free "

" praise the lord "

" god bless america "

or

" can i supersize that please "

 

you might have to write dead small though  

 

pop it on see ebay and see how it sells compared to the recent flood of custom gilded coins appearing for sale (!)

[watchesandwhisky]

LOL I just had a go at priming the coin with spray paint outside but its to chilly to set well, But I am serious and will make a thread updating progress when I can get started:)

[SilverPirate]

I love eagles any way beautiful coin,would look great if you are into collecting variations of the eagle.

@MH

Keen to see the creative results

Anyone bought this coin?

There's a Chinese Panda coin that's had the same treatment on Ebay.

[daz]

im not keen on the panda , but really like the look of the eagle

[MickB]

Just won a bid on eBay for one of these. Will post pictures when it arrives from New York.

[MickB]

Arrived from Germany yesterday even though I had bought it from a dealer in New York.

 

[daz]

I really like it , will definately get one at some point

[morezone]

Looks like it's full steam ahead for the coloured and Ruthenium plated coins.  I wonder if they all come from the same private mint.

 

 

[daz]

Must admit , quite like the britannia not keen on the others though

[sovereignsteve]

Brit and turtle OK, never liked any coloured coin before.

[HighlandTiger]

The black and fire Maple looks like a rip off from the Hunger Games logo
