I don't have many of those. This Fiji coin fits the bill.

 

2008 Liberia 5 dollar

 

I don't actually own this one anymore but it is my favorite colorized piece that I have ever had. It is actually enameled. 1952 Swiss Shooting medal. I had somebody that really wanted it and one of there offers happened to coincide with a time that I was trying to raise some money. One of the few coins I have ever sold that I regret.

 

I've only got one colorized coin it looks like.

Gilt 1795 pattern halfpenny. Restrike by W J Taylor.

 

Here is a circulated 1797 Great Britain Gilt Proof 2 Pence P-1073

 

I think somebody just painted this one?

 

1788 pattern halfpenny struck in brown-gilt copper. A gilding of gold with some copper content. Peck 966.

 

A pattern uniface 1824 halfcrown struck in Barton's metal - a copper sheet with gold bonded to both sides leaving an edge with exposed copper unlike a gilt coin which has the edge covered. Apologies for the out of focus reverse where auto-focus didn't, but you aren't missing anything anyway.

These must have been struck right at the end of the 1824 patterns because the obverse die is clearly on its last legs.
