Best Answer

The plating was not done by the U.S. Mint. Many different coins have been privately plated and sold as collectibles. I have seen many S.B.A. coins of all dates and mintmarks that have been plated. But none of them have any collectible value.

Does anyone have any idea how may of these coins may have been plated and would that effect their value in any way?

No. They are made of copper plated with nickel. They are not valuable unless they have the mintmark "S" or are uncirculated. If your coin is gold it is only gold plated and adds no extra value.

You also have a gold Susan B. Anthony coin dated 1979 where are they coming from?

Gold-plated, not gold. COMING, not "comming" All SBA dollars were struck in copper-nickel. Some private companies plated them with a thin layer of gold and sold them as "collectibles" at substantial markups. Unfortunately it would cost more to extract the gold than it would be worth, and the underlying coin is only worth $1.

1979 gold susan b Anthony dollar?

A "gold" 1979 Susan B Anthony dollar would be a regular dollar coated in gold (or gold paint). Numismatically, it's worth about a dollar. If it is coated with real gold AND it is a thick enough to be worth anything AND you could get the gold off, it might be worth a bit more (especially if you could salvage the coin itself for a dollar). Broadly speaking, "collectable coins", such as this, aren't.
