Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3324 Posts	Posted 06/18/2017 07:36 am Over the years, there have been many KHD plated with different materials. Looks like that's what this is.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 06/18/2017 08:37 am Selectively gold plated, a commercial private issue usually as a souvenir. Now, mints sell this sort of thing to collectors. Of no real numismatic value but the mints have realized that some collectors love them, and have seen the commercial opportunity to sell to those collectors.

Cummins99 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/18/2017 6:53 pm Thanks for the help. If it's not worth anything extra I'm just going to throw it back in and get another box. Or should I be keeping stuff like this? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/19/2017 04:10 am Well is it worth it to you to give up the fifty cents to keep it? If it is then keep it, if it isn't then throw it back and use it to get a anther 50 cent piece that you might want more. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 06/19/2017 11:42 am I'd put it back in circulation. Then someone else will think they found a great coin. Report this Post to the Staff
