cdegroat New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/12/2009 11:11 am I have 3 MVB dollars that are not gold colored. 2 P's and 1 D. Does anyone have any information they would share? Maybe these are common, but I haven't seen any others. Report this Post to the Staff

I am not sure what it is but I can tell you that it is not missing the outer manganese layer since the inner core is pure copper. Get an accurate weight on it and if it is 8.1 grams +/-0.1g or so then it is probably plated or altered in some manner. Edited by biokemist6 05/12/2009 12:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I also did not find all these coin together or on the same day. 1 P and 1 D came together in a mixed dollar roll, the other P was found about a month before. I will try to get photo with better lighting tomorrow or next. Report this Post to the Staff
