jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 03/12/2014 8:29 pm I know absolutely nothing about platinum coins so thought I would ask about this listing I came across on ebay. Did the Mint produce Platinum Quarters? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-Platin...em3f31d1c96b Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 03/12/2014 9:33 pm Home Shopping Network, govmint.com and other coin-hypers often sell sets of unofficially-plated quarters - genuine, perfectly normal quarters which the seller has privately plated with a few bucks worth of precious metal. This is probably just such a set. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 03:37 am Sap seems to be right again! Ask the seller to weigh them! With a 'Buy It Now' of $50, they would not be solid Pt. XRF would not help; that test only examines metals on the surface. Report this Post to the Staff
platinrubel Valued Member Austria 194 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 04:51 am yes, this is of course not solid platinum, only platinum-plated. the only recent platinumcoin of the united states is the platinum eagle. except the "Bollman-strikes" and some goldplated platinum-planchets (5 and 10 dollars), there are no other platinum coins, minted in the united states, existing. greets platinrubel Report this Post to the Staff
