tansy25 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 02/07/2017 9:00 pm I updated the first post with a picture of the front. It doesn't look plated to me but I'm very new to coins so I could definitely be wrong. Front and back are very similar in color and look like the other franklins I have. Report this Post to the Staff
