  • This is a great coin to use as a teaching lesson on the TABERNACLE/TEMPLE TAX
  • These BEAUTIFUL SILVER PLATED coins come in a 2x2 protective coin sleeve with the year of minting labeled (see pic).
  • NOTE: These are not just silver "color" coins like other listings, these are not that cheap microwave "rub on" stuff that will fade a few days later, these are actual SILVER "electroplated" coins.

  • Also, be careful buying "plated" coins, a lot of people copy my listings and don't really have "plated" coins.  I do my own electroplating.
