No need for a poll.
It is a plated IH. You can see the copper where it has been worn through.
That pretty well destroys most of it's value.

 . Agreed, plated after it left the mint. In future posts, please crop photos properly before clicking on post. John1  |

It would have been a nice coin if not plated.

Well it's not plated over a proof , but it is plated and kills any value to the coin .  |

The IH is plated but is does not show any copper that was a reflection. What is the plating and can it be sold for a premium. it is still in great condition.   |

The plating is probably nickel or platinum or maybe even chrome. Is it magnetic? John1 |

If it is slightly magnetic it is nickel, if not it is most likely silver or chrome (But chrome is usually plated over a nickel base plating.) Other possibly but much less likely metals could be platinum or Rhodium. Zinc is a common plating but doesn't really polish up like that.
With the plating it is now worth MUCH MUCH less than it would have been worth if it wasn't plated.
