    I did some searching online last night.. found tons of other colorized ones out there (50c and quarters too) but none matched what you have..
    except on eBay.. theres somebody selling them individually for $19.95!
    (but not all of them - maybe 12-15 posted there individually - plus some quarters.)
    I think you got a great price for a cool Huble educational collection!
    and in the airtights already as well!

    heres one of the similar sale items on ebay for reference..

    (oh wait, can I put this link here? Im not involved in any way in selling them. )

    Colorized and stickers are different. I don't believe the value is anymore than 50 cents each. However, there is more work in the colorized versions.

    As your name states, that's exactly what I did. I rolled the dice. I just thought they were cool looking

    For those wondering. I think they are colorized and all look to be on UNC halfs of various years. The pics don't do them justice and some of the holders are a little scratchy (one had tape residue on it) but pretty cool for the money.

    I'm almost positive that's a sticker, but again it doesn't matter for the price and the fact you enjoy them

    Definitely colorized. Just checked them under a 10X loupe. Looks like they are silk screened on

    We might just have different interpretations of the definitions of the terms which is okay. Glad you enjoy them

    Yes from the last photo they are not stickers. But they are not done individually by hand either. They had to be mass produced. Here are some photos from the Hubble:

    I love that stuff. Google "Hubbles Greatest Hits" and be amazed.

    PS: I'm sure they were mass produced by machine but they were done well. Now to find a nice display piece for them to hang them on the wall. That'll probably cost me as much as the coins!
