<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 24556360, member: 100459&quot;]The first (and only) time I ever came across a plated coin was when I went to our credit union.&nbsp; My wife taught most of the tellers and I&#039;ve gotten to know them well. Anyway, one of the tellers that knew I was a retired accountant, told me that a customer had given her a &quot;gold&quot; quarter.&nbsp; It threw me at first, so I asked to see it.&nbsp; It was an Indiana &quot;Indie&quot; 500 quarter that was gold in color.&nbsp; I looked at it first (not that I had to) to see if there was a chance it was a real gold quarter.&nbsp; I exchanged real quarter for her &quot;gold&quot; quarter, so that I could check it out.&nbsp; After many inquiries, I found that the &quot;gold&quot; quarter was platted with some type of gold paint.&nbsp; I gave her the bad news the next day and I asked her if she wanted it back.&nbsp; She told me that it wasn&#039;t necessary and that I could keep it.&nbsp; I put it in a flip and filed it with my other weird coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
