RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 3:19 pm From what I've seen these usually tone darker not lighter. I read there are counterfeit dollars coins called zombie Sacagaweas in South America. I don't think this is one of them but I could be wrong. I just wanted to ask if this is normal to tone lighter with circulation or if anyone has seen these this color. Thanks for any info Report this Post to the Staff

Also soaking longer than mine would result in a different color. Maybe an earlier planchet to would affect this. The mint made plenty of changes in the planchets to help them retain bright gold color. Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 3:38 pm Thanks Oldfordman. It could have been dipped. It looked off so I had to ask Report this Post to the Staff
Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 3:40 pm You keep asking. It was a good idea to ask. If you keep asking persistently you might find one on an SBA planchet worth big $. Report this Post to the Staff

RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 4:33 pm The color looks the same on that coin from the link minus the pink edge. Could be an earlier or later planchet like you mentioned or dipped in a similar solution. Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff

RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 8:55 pm Thanks John1. That's probably why the weight is a little lower than normal Report this Post to the Staff
