kennydean32 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 9:04 pm I have a 1999 P dime but it is gold color. Also, the "C" on the back looks off. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 9:44 pm @kd32, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes this coin was plated after it left the mint. The amount of gold is insignificant though, and while it looks expensive because of the color, it is only worth ten cents.

A gf that supports your coin habit is the best type! Hope to see more posts from coins that she brings home.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/17/2018 4:04 pm An altered coin is one that a collector doesn't want. They are not an original finish coin. The better it looks in BU/proof the more desirable they are to a collector. People who are not collectors buy coins that have been plated and think they really found a mint error. They don't realize it until they go to sell it. Report this Post to the Staff
