GaCoinNewbie New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 09/11/2025 11:18 am HI again. I saw the replies - MUCH appreciated. I am uploading a pic as requested. I understand about maybe the coin has "worn" and created the silver color, but as you can see it's a solid silver color and doesn't show areas worn worse than others. It is this same consistent color everywhere on both front and back. The back has fine details also, and it has the edge lettering. I'm not so good with photos but it has a lot of detail and shows very little wear. Not sure the pics show that? Let me know what you think?... or if I need to upload a better photo. THANKS AGAIN. Glad to be a member of CCF Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75147 Posts	Posted 09/11/2025 11:43 am To CCF! Maybe plated? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21655 Posts	Posted 09/11/2025 12:06 pm It is not worn, it has been plated after it left the mint probably with nickel. These were sold as "souvenirs" at a premium but in reality they are only worth face value. Report this Post to the Staff
Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1775 Posts	Posted 09/11/2025 12:15 pm @GaCoinNewbie - - Plated or dipped. Report this Post to the Staff
GaCoinNewbie New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 09/11/2025 1:30 pm that's a possibility I suppose. I would think if you added another layer of "material" (say nickel) it would fill in some of the grooves and make it less detailed..? I'm new so I don't know. I had someone suggest maybe it was struck on a wrong planchet; like maybe a Susan B Anthony? Report this Post to the Staff

You may be surprise how thin a layer of electroplating actually is. Quote: I had someone suggest maybe it was struck on a wrong planchet; like maybe a Susan B Anthony? If that is the case, the copper core would still be visible on the edge. Plating should have covered it. Can you share an image of that?

Dearborn Moderator United States 98403 Posts	Posted 09/11/2025 1:54 pm Thank you for the image. But I'm in the plated group here, but do you have a weight for this coin? Collecting since 1972.

GaCoinNewbie New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 09/11/2025 5:11 pm yeah - the coin weighs 8.06 grams don't have a pic handy, but the edge looks just like a regular gold colored dollar. Date, mint mark, etc Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6589 Posts	Posted 09/11/2025 5:20 pm The copper core layer should still be faintly visible as a slightly different color. Report this Post to the Staff
