pdub1272,
to CCF. You need to start your own thread. Your coin looks gold plated after it left the mint. Weight? Diameter?

I would love to see a closeup of the date. It looks like it may be a DDO.

I agree with Jim, the tail of the 9 certainly looks to be a DDO.

Since the coin is plated, the coin is significantly less valuable than if it wasn't, especially since it looks like it's a DDO.

But if were plated, the value would go out the window, or reduced to a real collector.
