1992 Gold Toned Kennedy Half

I have these two 1992 Kennedy half dollars. Would like feedback on the goldish tone coin. Just starting collecting coins and want to make sure my collection doesn't have any fake toned coins.

I am learning coin collecting to spend time with my grandson. He has been collecting for about a year. I wanted to show this to him, and not sound like a complete newbie. So any feed back would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

 

It is hard to tell from the pic, but it looks to be gold plated from here.

 

if it's gold plated, and not just toned, you can buy those all day long

from various vendors of various gold coloring/plating.

 

More pics would help, of the reverse and edge as well. It just looks toned to me, but more pics might help.

 

I have a few of them found roll searching a wile back. They're plated. People made money off of them as a novelty.

 

Doesn't look plated at all.
It is toning.
Coins change color due to different environments over time.

 

I'm not sure if they are plated or toned.
Could you post reverse side photos?

 

I will this evening when i get home from work.
Thanks.

 

More pics.

 

Thanks for the link. If it is plated, I don't want to add it to my collection.

 

Here’s a genuine gold Kennedy half. 2014, one year only.

 

Thanks for posting the extra photos.
I could be wrong, but it looks toned to me.
I hope others will give their opinion on the reverse side.

 

The reverse does look plated to me.

 

The second post with photos confirms, for me at least, that your half dollar is plated. It is not worth much more than face value.

 

That looks awesome and its from West Point.

 

A lot of this gold-plated stuff was pushed by the TV coin salesmen until they really got into the overpriced moderns business.
