    Can you say "flipped image" which is a common mistake.

    An apology might be in order.

    As for the coin?

    Silver Plated without a doubt. The single Silver 1976 Type 2 Ike was a proof coin. This is not a proof coin.

    Additionally, since few people had any interest in the IKE Dollar, countless thousands were either gold annodized or gold and silver plated. It has been a common practice over the years.

    Why would you want to do that? They are numismatically damaged and just worth $1.

    Ummm, look again. I'm not talking about the plated Ike dollar.
    The ad order form also mentions an "Obsolete Coin Set" containing one Indian head penny, one Buffalo Nickel, one Mercury dime and one Liberty Quarter and Half Dollar for $5.98.

    I looked no further. I saw the big scam and ran. Probably for the time it was as good a deal as as Littleton is now.

    Let's get copies of that order form and see what happens when we send it in with our $5.98 for each set !!

    Give it a shot. But it's NOT my ad. Merely a scan from an old Coinage Magazine.

    OR, you could go to any Sroe located on US Mint property and buy one. I saw them there in 2006(?)
