<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2238785, member: 15199&quot;]I can see that you are hoping that somehow the mint decided to repeat in 2004, the testing done in 1999 before the production of the dollar in 2000. Heritage mentioned there are a few small number of those experimental planchets struck with quarter dies are known. There would be no reason to experiment a second time in 2003/4 before the normal striking as the design change of the Sac wasn&#039;t until 2008/9 and did not to my knowledge involve any composition change. So I see the chance that your coin being the Sac composition as being very unlikely. None of us could tell by looking at a photo as to whether it was plated or not. Effectively, I suspect it would have to be submitted to the metallurgy testing by the mint or by a company associated with PCGS to become verifiable. Sometime the clad layer gives the appearance of there not being a core, when it really is. Best of luck, but the odds are very low. Welcome to the forum[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
