Brad Lidge Houston Signature Series Colorized U.S. Statehood Quarter MLBPA Licensed Coin
Condition: The item appears to be in its original factory-sealed retail packaging. The coin itself is housed in a protective acrylic capsule, which is mounted to a graphic cardboard backer card and sealed within a clear plastic hang-tag sleeve. The packaging shows minor signs of shelf wear and crinkling to the outer plastic, but the coin remains undisturbed and protected from handling. The colorized application on the obverse displays a portrait of Brad Lidge with sharp graphics.
The item is a United States Statehood Quarter that has been modified post-mint by The Merrick Mint with a high-definition colorization process. It features Houston pitcher Brad Lidge as part of an officially licensed MLBPA Signature Series. The metal content is the standard composition for U.S. Statehood Quarters, consisting of a copper-nickel clad over a pure copper core. The strike type is a standard business strike modified with a colorized decal. The mint mark is not clearly visible through the packaging, but these series were typically struck at either the Philadelphia or Denver mints. No numerical grade has been assigned by a third-party service, but the coin is presented in an uncirculated state as part of a collectible set. Historically, this piece represents the era of sports numismatic collectibles produced during the height of the U.S. Mint's Statehood Quarter Program in the mid-2000s.
