STKRollHunter New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 02/10/2021 6:26 pm I recently came across a pair of Denver Minted half dollars that are gold in color. I weighed them and they appear to be in line with the weight of other halves at 11.22 Grams for the first one and 11.4 grams for the one with gunk on it. After some research, it seems like they are insignificant but I wanted to check here to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Good instinct. These coins were both gold plated after leaving the mint. They're not worth more than face, but I kind of enjoy finding them as a novelty.
