coinee Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 02/12/2017 2:47 pm I have five gold-plated Morgans. Does the gold-plating add or subtract from the value? Can they be graded by a service or will they get rejected? I think these are all common dates. Thanks Edited by coinee 02/12/2017 2:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 02/12/2017 3:53 pm I would pay no more than the melt, and not even that. The plating hurts the value of the coins. Then again, those are probably harshly cleaned underneath the macron layer of gold. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/12/2017 5:43 pm Worse yet is they may not be Gold plated. Might be something like Brass instead. Or if you were really lucky, might be pure Gold copies but highly unlikely. I doubt they are plated in Gold. Would make little cents to use Gold to plate a Silver dollar. Regardless, worth keeping as a novelty. Report this Post to the Staff
