looks like the gold color was painted on but its stayingnon the coin real good.
No, Sacagawea dollars have an all around golden tone to them. Including both the core and outer layers, the overall composition is 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, and 2% nickel. The golden tone from the manganese copper alloy.
The real question is what did they do to the coin to make it silver looking except for the bust?
Thats why I said it was a collectible coin from the Morgan Mint. They have one up for auction on E-Bay. Looks just like it. Silver background with gold bust.
