gill3814 Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 07/10/2014 5:49 pm Hey guys, stumbled across this forum a short while ago. My dad and I have been collecting coins over the past 5-10 years. He's a medium size business owner and so any coins or bills he would get at each of his locations that he thought stood out he would just take them to the side and replace them with pocket money he had. I have this Ike dollar with what appears to be gold toning, wanted your guys input on this. Look forward to sharing some of the pieces I've come across with you all. Thanks, Gill Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/10/2014 6:58 pm looks like you found an Ike that had been gold plated, and that has worn away and gotten discolored in places. A few of those were in the last batch of Ike$ I got. Report this Post to the Staff
gill3814 Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 07/10/2014 7:11 pm Thank you for the welcome guys, and rupester no mint mark, not sure how to tell if a coin is clad or not? And fuzzy, sweet! Thought maybe this was rare, not sure how common these are Report this Post to the Staff
Socal SilverHunter Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 07/10/2014 8:36 pm Gill, you weigh them. The silver/clad is 24.59 grams, while the copper nickel is 22.68 grams Report this Post to the Staff
hcmusicguy Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 10:25 am If there is no mint mark, then it is a Philadelphia minted Ike. They did not mint any of the silver pieces, so it can only be a plain old copper-nickel clad. Report this Post to the Staff
