<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 1822012, member: 15518"]Because the thickness of silver plating ranges from .00015" to .00125"; and, like silver plated flatware, adds little (or in this case, no value) to the item. The only "value" this coin has is to the seller, who, praying upon the lack of knowledge a buyer might possess, charges an exuberant amount. The actual worth of this coin is fifty cents... however, I could easily sell it for two bucks at the local flea market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
