It's all gold except for the face. And it's nit frosted like a proof but the gold is mirrored

There are plenty out there that are completely gold plated but this one is different so ... Keeper, but only because it's a curiosity. The Home Shopping Network and other companies plate coins and sell them as though they are somehow worth more than face value. They are not.

As for your coin, I wonder if someone removed the gold from the portrait or covered the portrait before plating the coin.

Yes, a curiosity only. I used to have dozens when I roll hunted heavily, I ended up spending them.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

Nothing one should ever buy at a premium, but always a fun find for face value.
