Found a White 2010 James Buchanan Presidential Dollar Coin Is it a Mint Error or Fake

I'm trying to find out if this coin is a mint error
or a fake. This a scan of the James Buchanan taken with a scanner.
Thx for any help I can get.

What do you mean, a white coin? Is it minted in silver?

 

Presidential Dollars are golden in color, this one is silver color.

Weigh your coin. A Presidential Dollar should weigh 8.07 grams.
Your coin is supposed to be a copper core plated with a golden colored alloy.
If it is on a quarter planchet, it will weigh 5.67
grams and show a copper core around the edge.

 

The Coins weigh is 8 to 9 grams, it does not have a copper core.
It does have the wording and 2010 around the outer core.
Thx

 

I'm stumped.
Stick around. Someone that knows more will soon tell you more.

 

I am going to guess plated, look on the edges for any possible golden color coming through.

It is platinum plated:

Plated! D'oh! Should a been my first thought.

 

I'll vote plated as well, these are plated by other companies after leaving the mint, and many collectors refer to these as damaged coins.

 

I also found a President Tyler dollar that looks like yours
