Now and again ill find a diamond in the rough but mostly I use the coins as fillers for my coin books.

Not only was it a coin that was in with about 200 cents but it was silver. I tried looking up to see if there was a 2000-P silver Sacagawea dollar. Couldn't find a thing. I did find a article where the government dabbled with different toning processes. I am at a loss. Has anyone heard of such a thing? I did all the amateur silver tests. And it has a real nice high pitch tone when tapped. But I have only been collecting for a few years so there is lots I still have to learn.</p><p> So can anyone shine a little light on what I might have or not have? Is it a sort of error? Does the "gold" toning fade? If I can get some input it would be great. Thanks!!</p><p>-Jason[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
