Want this question answered?
I was not able to find any references to any sterling (pure) silver items made by the Poole Silver Company. It appears that they only made silver-plated flatware (forks, knives, spoons, etc.) and holloware (bowls, goblets, teapots, etc.)
I'd like to know also. I've got a tea pot SN4222 which has the same date.
These replicas have a layer of gold on the foil that is an atom or two thick. It is not really measurable and it would take thousands of them to make an amount worth anything. You might be able to get a $1 or two per cover for them.
Not gold, but gold-plated. The US never issued a gold half-dollar, plus in any case a coin that large made of gold would have been worth about $20 in 1871. Unfortunately the plating has destroyed most of its collectible value. You may be able to find someone willing to pay extra for it as a curiosity however.
Almost nothing. These replicas have a layer of gold on the foil that is an atom or two thick. It is not really measurable and it would take thousands of them to make an amount worth anything. You might be able to get a couple of dollars just because it has Marilyn on it, not because of the gold value.
The coin isn't 24K gold, only the plating. Truckloads of ordinary copper-nickel state quarters have been plated and sold at high markups as "collectibles", but the fact that they're plated means they're altered coins with no interest to coin collectors. You may be able to find niche collectors who would be interested in a full set of plated coins in their original packaging.
If you've got a copy of a double eagle it is unlikely to be worth more than a few cents, unless you've got a coin made out of gold or gold-plated silver. However, the vast majority of copy coins are simply gold plated copper or nickel and worthless. Any jewellery store should be able to take a file to your coin and use acid to see if it is made out of real gold or just gold plated. Since your coin is a replica it has absolutely no collector value and any value it has is based on the metal it is made out of.
if the stell has been plated, you need to get a primer that will stick to the plating before you color coat a good auto paint store should be able to fix you up with that
All 1983 and later cents are made of copper-plated zinc, not steel. Steel was only used during WWII, in 1943. Your coin is almost certainly just missing its outer copper plating so that the underlying zinc is visible. The first and most obvious test would have been to use a magnet - if it were steel it would stick, but zinc won't. Unplated cents can be worth quite a bit IF they can be identified as genuine mint errors, but a lot of them are created by dipping ordinary plated coins in acid. These are considered damaged coins with no extra value. A dealer or appraiser who specializes in error coins may be able to inspect your coin and make a determination.
The bright appearance of a bronze British Penny is frequently mistaken for gold by some. If indeed it is gold plated, the thin layer of gold would not add much to the coin which normally weigh 9.45 grams.

It's not real gold. The Mint never struck any Ikes in gold. Your coin has been plated by a private company and sold as a "collectible". Unfortunately that makes it an altered coin with no extra value. It would cost more to remove the gold than it could be sold for.
