One of them had what seems like gold plating beneath the paint. Strange that they would cover the gold plating, anyone ever seen this before?

    I would assume the places selling painted Silver Eagles buy bulk lots. My secondary assumption is that bulk lots sometimes contain those plated ones.

    I said gold plate, you're right it's not plated it's gilded.
