No. It is worth one dollar. It would be worth a $1.25-$2 if it weren't gold plated.

 

If it is a bicentenial it may have been part of a set, still worth only face

 

1 buck........

 

I hate to disagree with the consensus, even if only conditionally, but you really do have to check the weight of your dollar.

If it is 22.68g, then you have a clad coin, worth only a buck.

But if it is 24.59g, then you have one of the 40% silver coins. It's .3161 oz. of pure silver has a melt value of about $4.70 at today's market close. (Less a small premium if you want to sell it.)

 

Au Contraire......the voice of reason.

 

I have three of these gold plated Ikes. The were given out by the Rainbow Casino to VIPs as a Lucky Gold Coin Souvenir. I have one dated 1974 D, a 1976 P Type 2, and a 1976 D Type 1.

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood!

You did notice that this thread is more than 8 years old, didn't you? As previously stated, unless your coin is 40% silver, the gold plating is meaningless and the coins are only worth face value.

Nope.

Well, it really depends upon the buyer but from a numismatic standpoint, nope.

I DO have a standing collection of gold plated coins of which, most are Eisenhower Dollars. This is purely from a novelty standpoint as the coins are still only worth a buck as they were plated by the thousands for certain market promotions.

 

Dammit! 8 Years Old?

I should know better!

 

Hopefully, the next person who stumbles upon this thread in an internet search will read your post and realize that there is no point in asking more questions. So, all is not for naught.
