Gold in them thar dime bags

[TxTim]

Found some gold plated dimes in a $1000 bag. I've found plenty of gold plated halves but never a dime. Any ideas? They're all post 64 and vary in years with some multiples.







Maybe I'm a little late to the party-
This was in 1997:

Cool. I've never seen a gold plated dime.

And they look sweet with the silvers. HH Mark

Somebody found out just how much their Littleton coin collection was worth (hint: Face Value).

Those are cool. I have done a few $1,000 bags of dimes but never found any gold plated ones.

You sure they are GOLD plated and not just one of those science experiments like we find with pennies a lot?

Well... I'm not refering to alchemy in THAT sense... but if I did know how I wouldn't be telling ANYONE. That baby would be all MINE for the taking.

I think you and the OP knew what I was actually talking about though, in that there are quite a few kids in science labs in high school and junior high and such that add some chemicals to a solution they throw pennies in and see them turn color to look like silver/steel/gold, etc. pennies.

Though on second look those dimes do look very much like the plated halves... though who would plate a dime and why is a strange question indeed.
