Found a nice little coin shop near me today bought a few things sold some stuff and the man didn't have anything smaller than a $20 but owed me $2 and remembered he bought half's yesterday from a guy so he gave me all four. Sadly two of them were proofs that the guy he bought them from had taken out of their cases for whatever reason.   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***Edited by R1W3D

While I'm talking about half's what do y'all think is up with this one? I've had it for a while just because it looks like this.   It doesn't exactly look like it was plated because its so uneven. |

Thank you very much I noticed that I posted in the wrong place and couldn't figure out how to fix it. Sorry about that I will pay better attention from now on.

I think the 1971 is plated and then circulated, maybe one of those gold-plated monstrosities the shysters sell on TV.

I too think it was plated and put into circulation.

Its copper for sure and definitely circulated. Its bugs the crap out of me when people sell those "gold clad" or whatever they call it in the middle of the night tv for a premium. So many people think they are solid gold and I feel like they are duping people because they don't come out and say plated.. Then they tell you something like 24k gold clad or "pure .999 gold clad" that's one I've seen.

Yep got four for face two proofs and two circulated. I know they aren't proofs now but they are still better looking than circulated coins so they feel like they are worth keeping. I'll probably spend the other two or something.

The proofs look circulated, probably pulled by a roll hunter. I have dozens I've found that way, I usually just give them away.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72
