No, the plating is far too thin. You'd need a lab scale to detect the weight of the plating, and even then, it wouldn't work -- coin weights can...
And that's a totally legitimate way to collect. I was raised as a coin-hunter, not a coin buyer. I've compromised since -- never have found a gold...
It's easy to find PVC-free flips.
That 2003 quarter is likely plated. There are places that sell sets of gold- and platinum-plated quarters. People buy them, learn that actual...

I wonder why it's still being produced. I know why it's called that, but only because I Googled the last time it showed up in a post, so I'll...

All three vaccines announced so far are two-dose regimens. Johnson and Johnson has a single-dose candidate, but even there, they're running...
Then how did someone put COPY in relief on the reverse, without distorting the surrounding field or the opposite face? And, for bonus points, how...
I wish I could help, but I actually don't see most of the counterfeit tells here that I'm used to looking for -- weakly-struck areas in odd...
Seems like there've been a lot of sellers yesterday and this morning who disagree. I've been assuming it's a reaction to signs of approaching, um,...
