Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 04/23/2020 7:18 pm A friend of mine gave me some of his coins to go through for him and this 1975 P LMC is plated with a counter stamp of 12-31-1974. Although PSD it is a curiosity. May have been done to signify something important to somebody. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 04/23/2020 7:24 pm I know what it signifies, 12-31-1974 was the date that the ban on citizens owning gold ended. It was a post mint commemorative, hence the gold plating. Edited by Jim0815 04/23/2020 7:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/23/2020 9:58 pm Jim beat me too it. The coin is gold plated, 12/31/1974 was the day FDR's gold recall was repealed and was the first day since March 5, 1933 that US citizen could own gold. Report this Post to the Staff
