It's worth five cents. Gold plating doesn't add any value.
Five cents. The gold plating someone put on a regular nickel destroyed any collector's value it had.
It depends on what it is on, if it is gold on stainless steel or another base metal, not much, gold plating only puts a thin layer of gold on them, too little to be of any real value and requires costly removal to sell the gold. However, if it is gold plating over something like silver, it might have value, but rather for the sterling silver under the gold plating than for the gold plating.
For scrap gold purposes, no, gold plating adds no value. For decorative purposes, gold plating can make a piece lovelier or more visually appealing, thus they would bring a higher price if sold. Sometimes a gold wash is added to a silver item to protect the silver from something that would stain or corrode the silver, such as the inside of a vinegar cruet or a jelly spoon. The acids in the vinegar or jelly could mar the silver. Other times gold plating is added to make the food inside more appealing, such as the gold plating inside some creamers in tea sets. Cream inside silver takes on a grayish color that looks unappetizing, but a gold wash or plating inside a creamer makes the cream look golden and creamy.
The 1972 Eisenhower dollar has no silver in it and the gold plating don't do nothing for the value but it's still a dollar
Yes, they are gold, but very very little. It is a plating process that deposits a single layer of gold on a piece of foil. It would take thousands of them to create any value.
