halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 04/20/2021 9:32 pm It was a pretty common practice for private companies (not affiliated with the U.S. Mint) to electroplate the State Quarters for their customers, often selling them at a ridiculous premium for profit.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 04/21/2021 01:38 am Obviously thin gold plated not long after issue. Thick gold plating not really affected. Over a period of many years, the gold and the nickel atoms migrate in both directions across the gold Cu/Ni plating interface. Even if the coin has been protected in a capsule, the coin will still pale in the long term. I found this out for myself when I had a .925 sterling silver coin gold plated. Looked really nice to begin with, but disappointing in the long term. Thus, over many years, the appearance will pale, due to a combination of wear, and atomic cross migration at the plating interface, as mentioned above. Definitely a curiousity keeper. With coin pictured, plating doesn't seem to be thinned on the high points, due to wear. I have quite a few plated World coins in my collection, all taken from dealers' junk boxes at below normal price for condition, because they are really PMD. Still, I like 'em all, anyway!
