srdldd27 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/26/2024 1:41 pm I came across this coin in a dollar roll from the bank. Thomas Jefferson is clearly all silver. On the back the Statue of Liberty is all Silver. I have never seen anything like this. I can't find any information on this. Is this an Error coin? Please any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

That kind of selective coloration is done after it leaves the mint by private companies making "instant collectibles" to sell at ridiculous prices to non-collectors. It's still worth it's $1 face value. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

As people have said, many outfits will tint, colorize, or plate American coins to sell as novelties at higher prices. Report this Post to the Staff
