<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3497, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m far from an expert on the coinage from this period - but my guess is the coin is bogus. Either that or you made a typo in your post.</p><p><br /></p><p>First of all - the date on the reverse of the coin is plainly 1947. And the last date that design was minted was 1939. As for the gold plating - even if the coin were genuine it does nothing but destroy any numismatic value the coin may have had. While there are a great many gold plated coins - they are sold as a novelty only and they have zero value to anyone except those who wish to collect gold plated coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>But in this case - it appears as if this coin is a gold plated counterfeit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
