spotco2 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 09/04/2008 11:49 am I picked this up in some change from a store a few weeks ago and first just noticed it was a funky gold color but saw some extra dates stamped on it this morning. I know the 1960 & 1985 were obviously added along with the gold tone post mint, but does anyone know why? Are there more than one of these oddities floating around? What's the story behind it?

It is probably commemorating the 25th anniversary of Kennedy's presidential election.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/04/2008 1:26 pm Quick weigh it. It may be pure Gold. Or Platinum with Gold plating. More than likely it is a bit of Copper or Brass plating. Sure wonder why people do that. The time it takes and then to just put in out in change. Weird. Report this Post to the Staff
