pennyhoarder New Member Canada 16 Posts	Posted 10/10/2014 02:23 am Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and new to coin collecting in general. I bought a small collection of coins from someone and it included a yellow 1966 silver dollar. The lighting is bad in this picture, but when I say yellow I mean very yellow, and it's perfectly uniform across the whole coin. Is this just toning? Report this Post to the Staff

pennyhoarder New Member Canada 16 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 1:55 pm I'm assuming it's plated then? Why plate a silver dollar? Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 2:02 pm If your second set of pics shows the real colour, then I'll also lean toward plated since it's got a very even colour. The why, people do weird stuff to coins. This one might be a science experiment. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21620 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 3:10 pm It's not uncommon to plate coins as souvenirs. There is a set of 1967 PL coins in a plastic holder that are all plated gold for sale. Google "plated coins" for more. Report this Post to the Staff
