Message:: [QUOTE="mkwelbornjr, post: 991317, member: 17034"]Sure I will post some pics tomorrow. Some colorized stuff is good too. Franklin Mint did a set of sterling ingots for great car insignias in the late 70's...each ingot was hand enammelled...yes by hand. Modern colorized coins use some type of decal fired on. Those HSN and TV marketers like Merrick Mint and others sell poorly designed colorized coins that make no logical sense and are tacky. PCS did one set of colorized Silver Eagles...National Park Panels. Each panel had a mint nat park stamp and a colorized eagle tastelfully designed. So there are many variations on the idea. Those panels BTW are a bargain now considering the price of silver alone...the panels are no longer for sale. MBI is the company and has 3 main divisions (Danbury Mint, Postal Commem. Society, Easton Press Leather Books) DM still does some medals and diecast cars which are outstanding. DM and PCS started in 1969. They have exceptional service..never an issue with them...ever. DM is doing a set of gold foil replicas of historic US currency...very well done...made in USA...<a href="http://www.danburymint.com/coins/prod/507/22kt-Gold-Replicas-of-Classic-U-S--Paper-Currency_9497-0019.aspx?c=HOME" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.danburymint.com/coins/prod/507/22kt-Gold-Replicas-of-Classic-U-S--Paper-Currency_9497-0019.aspx?c=HOME" rel="nofollow">http://www.danburymint.com/coins/prod/507/22kt-Gold-Replicas-of-Classic-U-S--Paper-Currency_9497-0019.aspx?c=HOME</a>  Collectors of exonumia collect these types of products...not to mention the casual collector that wants a nice set to show the kids. Diecast cars have a huge following from DM and many are worth a big premium on the secondary market once they are cancelled.[/QUOTE]
