Probably one of those silver or platinum plated ones from those scam artists on one of the home shopping channels. People buy them, think they are getting a great investment, only to find out they are basically only worth face value, then they get spent.

Dave. That came in a Bank Roll. But of used Dollars. Another detail is that. It's a little magnetic. Seem like was plated, There's the reason I took some pictures in the edge. Thinking that, if you plate a coin those lettering disappear.

That is why the magnet test doesn't always work - the plating is so thin it might or might not react to a magnet. The fact that yours *is* a bit magnetic pretty much proves the plating. |

No, the edge lettering would still be quite visible if the coin was dipped in an electrochemical plating bath.

I have a Sacegewea dollar that is this same color that I got from a bank with several other circulated dollar coins. Good find, but not really worth much.
