72 IKES " Mint error or painted?"

Ethan

I have taken more pics and although my camera is not the best, maybe this can give a better view. plus I thought I had 3 and I have 4!

Anyone know what these are or how I can tell if they are anything of interest?


All 4 Heads plus a 1971S for color comparisons.........









Notice the wear on the cheeks................





You can see the lines better on this one................





1971S is in the middle, tails shots




Side shots of all...........




A little blury but the next is better.........




A really good picture to see the color......and quality

Looks like they were plated...to me

Looks like a bunch of circulated Ikes to me that have been plated some time ago.

Someone/company gold plated many Ikes years ago, in fact my grandmother gave me one dated 72-P in approx 1973 or 74. I was all of 11-12.

These are worth maybe $1.50-2.00 as curiosities.

Hang to them and have fun with them.

Does anyone have any pictures or links that would help me identify these coins?

Huh? You posted the pictures yourself, and identified them. '72 Ikes.

Why are they streaky, you mean? 'Cause they were plated with something, apparently.

I second segoja's comments, though I personally wouldn't pay any more than face value for them.

The one with the parallel lines is a lamination error. Other than that they are first silver plated then gold plated.

Ethan

They are all "silver" in color. I thought they might have been painted except that would would use a brush to get the lines?

So what would a laminatin error be worth?
