<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3737827, member: 10461&quot;]The quarter on the left indeed appears to have been plated (chromed- in other words, altered outside the mint, and not a proof).&nbsp; It is worth face value (25 cents), as is the other.&nbsp; As [USER=92655]@Randy Abercrombie[/USER] mentioned, the Denver mint did not strike proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can see why the extra shininess of the chromed piece caught your eye.&nbsp; But real proof mirrors have an entirely different appearance.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That coin was treated with a process similar to the way chrome car trim pieces are.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Obama medal might be proof, or prooflike.&nbsp; That doesn&#039;t add any special premium with medals, when a particular issue was all made that way.&nbsp; But it can be attractive.&nbsp; To get an idea of the value on that, I would search eBay auctions, including a search for ones that have actually sold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
