It is <i>not</i> the shiny brilliant gold of the old gold-plated state quarters, it has a color a bit closer to a Presidential or a Sacajawea dollar.

Is it just toning? Or a bad plating job? All have shiny cartwheel luster. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/Toned2016.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
