<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2633930, member: 17665&quot;]Gold plating goes back a very long ways actually but today TV hawkers do it on a regular basis. Gold, platinum, rhodium, etc. Maynard Sundman of Littleton Coin Company made it popular by gold plating common wheat cents back in the 40&#039;s or 50&#039;s as giveaways to those who might be interested in receiving other coins in the mail on &quot;approval&quot;. His son David continued this tradition after his father passed away, but as green18 mentioned, it adds little if any value to a coin and done on a high grade coin, basically destroys it collector value otherwise. Strictly novelty items IMHO. But if you like them, by all means, collect what suits your tastes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
