<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 24550630, member: 27832&quot;]A lot of companies plate coins with gold or platinum and sell them as &quot;collectibles&quot;. Yours is probably one of the platinum-plated examples. It&#039;s not really collectible, but but they make good conversation pieces. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>People plating coins often apply a layer of <i>nickel</i> plating first, then apply the precious metal on top of that. In those cases, the coin is slightly attracted to a strong magnet. If you haven&#039;t already tested this one with a magnet, it would be worth a try. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve heard of off-metal (silver) strikes coming out of Denver. If this were 90% silver, as you say, it would weigh 6.25g.</p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to CoinTalk![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
