MS63 64? Hard to tell the luster with her lol

Hard to judge from the pics. Super slider 58+ or 63. Nice enough but nothing special?

TurtleCat

Unfortunately very hard to tell with that picture. If the color is accurate then that’s a bit unusual to me.

That is exactly the color with no lighting issues and the reason I posted it. Is it possible for to have been gold plated? And is there actually a market for such a thing.

In that case, yeah, I guess it could be gold plated. There must be enough of a market as people have gold plated all sorts of coins.

It looks toned, rather than plated, and my guess would be the toning is natural. In any case it has a nice strike, not uncommon for a 1941(P). I look for complete dress lines, a split thumb, and a full head, and all that is there or nearly so.

Probably flash plated with gold... I would have to examine it in hand to be sure. If so, that destroys collector value, but will look good in an album. Cheers, RickO
