These
BEAUTIFUL
GOLD
PLATED coins come in a 2x2 protective coin sleeve with the year of minting labeled
(see pic).
NOTE: These are
not
just gold "color" coins like other listings, these are
not
that cheap microwave "rub on" stuff that will fade a few days later, these are
actual  24K GOLD
"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.
Payment is due immediately at end of auction
This is a
GREAT GIFT
