So this is something i bought off ebay, the coin is a 1837 USA dime. I got the coin fairly cheap as sometime in its the past someone had a go at gold plating it, now this is an issue but i am not so bothered as it adds a thought of why did they gold plate it, the coin itself is fairly rare with only a mintage of 359k. The coin is made from 0.892 silver and weighs 2.7g, it features a capped bust of Lady liberty surrounded by 13 stars on the obverse and on tge reverse it features an eagle with the value of 10 cent
