Howdy rljones - Welcome to the Forum !! Yes, there were Proof sets issued in '82 & '83. However, there were no Mint Sets issued in those years....
Howdy Bob - Welcome to the Forum !! The gold plating is done by private companies after the coins leave the US Mint. They do this and then sell...
But that's my point - pass them on to who ? Right now the ASE has about $13 worth of silver in it, but I'll bet you can't spend one for a dollar...
And I didn't take it that you did ;) A good thread Mike :thumb: It illustrates quite well how pics can be deceiving.
Earlier on you made a comment about the size of the coin being so small that that was partly why you didn't care for them much. Well, that same...
You can buy common date, circulated examples from many dealers for about spot price plus 10%. At current prices that's about $700.

If it were true that the PCGS price guide was based on retail prices then why is it that many dealers even say they are too high ? So no, I don't...
This isone of those where it's hard to say based on the pics, the coin looks like it might have some slight rub - but that could be the pics. So...
You've made your point Aidan - enough already. If you wish to discuss it then discuss it, but enough of repeating the same thing over & over.
Ruben all of our clad coinage is a copper nickel alloy - always has been.
Possibly, but I don't see it based on the pics. This is one of those coins where almost the entire mintage was very weakly struck.
Not so Ruben, silver coins have been melted by private entities since they were first struck. And it always was and still is legal.
It can't - but copper/nickel alloy can be :D
