Ronsama Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Has anyone seen this 1996 ? Can't find it in the red book or ngs or pgcs listings. This chat bord keeps kicking me out when I try to up load a photo GRRR. Any way it's a 1996 JFK but the field is gold and the foreground is silver on both sides.

Hard to say without a picture of the coin but it sounds as if it was selectively plated or it has toned/was toned. Ronsama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only upload certain size pictures. Without pictures we can not help much. Ronsama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if plated with actual gold the platting is so thin that it adds almost zero value. EagleRJO, Sandon, Coinbuf and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob’s Coins Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I would venture to say someone artistic took some gold model paint and was having fun. Looks kind of sparkly. Tough photos, pretty blurry. Good luck. Not something the mint produced. Ronsama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking, this would be a good indicator that such a piece is not as issued by the U.S. Mint. Many coins are altered outside of the mint for sale as novelties, including pieces that have been plated, painted or "colorized", engraved, etc. So far, the only such piece authorized by the mint are colorized versions of the 2020 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame commemorative half dollar and silver dollar.

Coinbuf Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Looks like a truck stop novelty type coin. For sure was not made at the US mint and has no collector value. Ronsama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
