If they are all the same color - then I would agree that the coins have been plated. When a coin is plated it can be done several ways. But one of the most common is electro-plating. That is when silver ( or another metal ) is placed into a liquid solution - then the coin is dipped into the liquid and electricity passed through it. This causes the metal in solution to stick to the surface of the coin thus plating it. Plating is but a very thin layer of one material over top of another material.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
