Any alterations after that pretty much negates any value the coin might have unless it's bullion And to answer the question....plating is always after. and it can be any metal. the most common done is gold with silver bring a close second.

coffeegod Valued Member United States 236 Posts	Posted 02/08/2008 12:55 am So after reading about how some mint markers were removed then restamped and so forth; do they re electroplate over what they removed? Is it safe to say that's why we get some of those lingering post marks or whatever? Edited by coffeegod 02/08/2008 12:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
