Plated after being minted.

 

it does not have any speck of gold anywhere no bronze no Nordic gold nada... plated after mint would sound or be be fine, but details would be obscured and as you can see it is full detail.

Know your stuff and I know everybody else knows their stuff. But could someone please show me a picture of one of these that looks like this that is silver in color absolutely no bronzing new Nordic gold because I haven't found one and that bothers me and thank you in advance

 

Really? Please.
This is PLATED. End of story. You should probably learn how the plating process works. Details would NOT be obscured. The plating on these coins are microns thick.

EDIT: Here you go. Not an exact picture of the coin...but shows you what people do to them:

I agree with furryfrog02 on this one. It was plated after leaving the mint.

Since dollar coins are made of a solid alloy (not plated like zinc pennies), the only way your coin could have left the mint like this is if it was accidentally struck on a clad or silver planchet. This is virtually impossible. If it was struck on a planchet intended for another denomination (i.e. half dollar or quarter), it would be either smaller or larger than a normal dollar coin. Yours is the same size. The mint does not make different-metal planchets the size of dollar coins. Your coin is plated. It probably came from a set like the one wcoins posted.

 

Plated.

 

Just like your last thread. You don't believe the truth. Your coin was plated after it left the US mint.

 

You could always trade it to your friend for the 1964-D cent you claim was over struck on a Canadian cent that you said he took in a previous post

 

Truthfully, a few minutes searching eBay will get you your answer most of the time.
Just search for "presidential silver plated dollars"; or more specific "presidential silver enriched dollars"

Then scroll until you find one like it, not just after a few seconds.

​

You just have to have an open mind that it isn't what you think it is. If you reject basic logic then you will never find the true answer.

Of course, all this probably doesn't matter anyways.

 

Worth one dollar!

 

Have you joined any of the coin clubs that your grandfather was in?
Having the coin in hand with a club you'll learn a lot more, a lot faster.

 

It can't be larger it wouldn't fit. It can only be smaller or the same size.

 

Furryfrog is correct. That makes the coin invalid/non-legal tender.

 

It also never had any gold. It is a bronze coin. That has been silver plated. They sell them on TV to poor suckers who have no idea what they are buying.

 

You must accept....It is, what it is.

 

Your last statement is incorrect. They can still be used as legal tender. I’ve seen my fair share of plated, stickered, or painted coins in my searches.

 

There is a law on Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Here it is.

Manufacturing counterfeit United States currency or altering genuine currency to increase its value is a violation of Title 18, Section 471 of the United States Code and is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000, or 15 years imprisonment, or both.

 

Another paragraph:

Anyone who manufactures a counterfeit U.S. coin in any denomination above five cents is subject to the same penalties as all other counterfeiters. Anyone who alters a genuine coin to increase its numismatic value is in violation of Title 18, Section 331 of the United States Code, which is punishable by a fine of up to $2,000, or imprisonment for up to five years, or both.

It is the same thing as plating the current coin. It is one the BEP website.

 

More:

Forging, altering, or trafficking in United States government checks, bonds, or other obligations is a violation of Title 18, Section 510 of the United States Code and is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000, or 10 years imprisonment, or both.
