Dascher Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Has anyone seen this thing before or know what knock-off company makes these?. I found it in a mixed lot; it weighs 8.048g and the reverse looks like a normal 2000D Sacagawea but there's just something off about the way it feels. I suspect the obverse is just some sort of cheap aftermarket coating because the "D" mintmark can be seen but isn't highlighted. However, there doesn't appear to be a sticker or film coating around the edges. I highly doubt it has anything more than novelty value and perhaps I'll list it on eBay for max $5, but I don't want to do that without knowing anything about it's history or otherwise misrepresent the coin or myself. I scoured the Internet for like items and came up with zilch, so here I am asking for help from any of my fellow NGC members who are more experienced than I. Thanks for whatever you can offer, I appreciate the time & effort - JFD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hard to really tell without a picture but there are many coloured coins on the market that have been altered after they left the mint. Pad printing is a popular method of colouring them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other one right below this has pictures, bu thank you for the term "Pad Printing". That is new to me and I will research it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
