There are two possible ways this may have occurred: 1) Some of the TV coin shows will plate low-grade mint state coins with silver or gilt to sell as sets at exaggerated prices. 2) For as long as I can remember (I&#039;m 68), kids have used mercury to coat coins for science projects or just for the heck of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Was this coin sold by one of the TV shows? Maybe not, but I do know that the uninformed people who bought this junk, learning later that they weren&#039;t worth more than face value, usually dumped them back into circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
