    Maybe worth .20c to .30c to a dealers junk box.It has VERY little premium.

    A lot of people plate coins with gold,silver,platinum,etc. to sell them at marked up prices to inexperienced collectors.

    I've never seen a gold plated clad dime.

    I have heard of some on this site plated with various metals and of various dates. These are not commonly seen.
