biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 1:54 pm It appears that your coin has been selectively electroplated with gold but it was not done by the US Mint. Many marketing companies have plated State Quarters with silver, gold, and platinum but this is the first one I have seen that is selectively plated. However, the amount of gold plating is trivial and does not add any real value to the quarter although it might fetch a couple bucks on ebay as a novelty. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 5:26 pm Just look up 'selective gold plating' or 'selective electroplating'. There are a lot of links for companies that do that sort of work. The Wikipedia article might give the most info. on how it is done. Report this Post to the Staff
New2coin2 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/16/2017 12:46 am I found one also but can not find anything about it .. It has a plastic coating on it that makes it hard to photograph, the plastic coating makes the auto focus on my camera want to Snow globe, for lack of better terms.. It is very heavy and I'm thinking silver because it doesn't have any nickel lines , with selective gold plating and a coating of plastic feel on both sides .. Mine is a 2003 Illinois, land of Lincoln, 21st century State Quarter.. Edited by New2coin2 02/16/2017 12:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
