<p>[QUOTE=&quot;adric22, post: 1590037, member: 38146&quot;]I&#039;ve never actually bought anything before that is plated.&nbsp; I realize there are sellers out there trying to scam people and I&#039;ve seen some pretty ridiculous prices on essentially base metals with silver or gold plating on them.&nbsp; I also realize the plating itself is very thin and can&#039;t really be counted as bullion as it would cost more to reclaim the gold/silver than it would be worth.&nbsp; Hence the reason I&#039;ve never bought any.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that...&nbsp; I&#039;m somewhat curious to buy a plated coin just to say I have one.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen some quarters, half dollars, and other coins on ebay go for a dollar or so more than their face value due to the gold plating.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m just curious if there are any coins I could buy that are plated in which I could expect those coins to retain the value at which I bought them.&nbsp;&nbsp; For example if I pay $2.00 for a half-dollar that is gold plated, should I expect to be able to sell that half dollar again in the future for at least $2.00?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess what I&#039;m asking is how much is an <i>appropriate </i>mark-up for buying a plated coin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
