I have a full P and D state quarters in 24k gold that my grandfather found and gave me. Probably bought from TV.
I possess 1 colored coin. An Australian 25 c Silver bullion. Obverse is reverse proof and reverse is themed for Halloween. I won it here on CT. It is so different I actually like it.
@expat your example is released like that by the Perth Mint (they apply the colorization process) as opposed to the two Silver Eagles being done privately by resellers.
I possess no colorized coins, mostly because I honestly just don't like them. It seems very hard for them not to cross the line directly into "tacky." Canada had a few subtlety colorized coins in circulation (including one with a glow in the dark patch) and those were fun and actually looked pretty good as well, but when coloring goes too far, such as some of the examples posted here, I pretty much recoil and try to suppress a gag reflex. As far as intentionally ruined coins go, this one definitely qualifies, though I don't think it's quite what this thread had in mind.

If not for the hole, this one wouldn't have cost only eight bucks. Shouldn't be too hard to tell what it is...
