Do gold plated- copied coins have value?

Answer 1

Generally not, the gold plating adds no value. However, there are some times when coins are gold plated over good silver, in which case, the silver would have value. For example, a gold plated 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar (assuming it was a genuine half dollar) would be worth nearly $10 because the half dollar is worth that in silver scrap. The gold plating would add no value but the coin is still worth something.

Copy coins have no collector value, however, they can be made out of metal with value, for example, there are replicas of the 1804 silver dollar made out of 90% silver, these would be worth $20 or so because of the silver, it has no collector value, but it still has value. However, a replica of the same coin struck in silver plated copper would only be worth a few cents. So copy coins have to be evaluated on a case by case basis for value.

Answer 2

If it the buffalo nickel it is pretty much worthless it is basically a replica of the real version but it sells for 1,245 dollars right now at gold prices. The one you have is probably gold plated and worth no more than 10 dollars. Real Pieces can change depending on gold market price. Live Melt Prices are @ apmex.com and/or coinflation app.
