Hi... when you see P 10k or 10k P on a piece of jewelry, it means that the purity of the gold is guaranteed to be 10k or better. The "P" means PLUMB it is a higher purity of gold making it a better quality. "P" does not mean any kind of plating. Gold plating marks are as follows: GP, RGP, HGE, GF.
10 karat is stronger because of its alloy ratio and 18 has a better shine and color, so what you have is a strong necklace that shines like pure gold.
Yes. You can coat, that is plate a gold item with a layer of white gold. The item will look like it was originally made in white gold at this point. One issue is that the layer will eventually wear off. The life of the plating will depend on its thickness and how often it is worn. Lifetime of plating in this manner is 6 months to 10 years range.
10% Gold or 2.4 carat gold
Gold jewelry is usually made of alloys of metals, and gold alloy is divided into 24 parts. If you have 10 karat gold, that means that you have 10 parts of gold out of 24 parts, or 41.6% pure gold in the total metal.
10 micron thickness plating (usually gold)

If a coin is advertised as having " 10 Mill 24-KT gold" a Mill= one millionth of an inch.
GRP stands for "gold rolled plated," meaning that the jewelry is composed of an inexpensive metal such as brass that has been plated with gold. 10K is the carats of gold in the plating, so in this case the base metal is plated with 10-carat gold.
10 cents. The plating makes it an altered coin.
If it's gold, it's gold-plating done by a private company, NOT the U.S. Mint. They go for around $10 on eBay.

10 cents for the copper-nickel coin underneath and about a penny or 2 for the gold plating. The US never minted gold dimes - they'd be worth A LOT more than 10 cents, after all!
GF= stands for "gold filled" Gold Filled (heavy plating), usually has a fraction, For Example:1/20 10K GF found at: http://nitacreations.blogspot.com/2007/10/jewelry-markings-what-do-they-all-mean.html
Get On Da Mic was created in 2004-10.
Sounds like one of those things some mass-marketer created by plating a common coin and sold as a great investment for $10 or $20. It's worth about 50 cents. There will only be a few cents worth of gold in the plating.
