.9999 Gold 2014 W 50C Coin

This coin is of the utmost pure at .9999 (four 9's) the purest the mint is currently capable of creating. The majority of gold coins are .999 or .99 pure, so the West Point Mint really went the extra mile when creating this coin. In addition to the purity this coin is what's called a High Relief Proof, meaning the coin appears more 3D than normal proofs. The coin weighs in at 0.75 troy ounces or 31.1035 grams. Be sure to look out for gold plated fakes in the future. To be certain, make sure this coin weighs the listed 31.1035 grams. A gold plated fake will weigh much less than this. This coin was the first gold coin mass produced by the US mint since 1933. Front of the coin has the date 1964-2014.

.90 Silver 2014 W 50C Coin

If minted with a W mint mark and silver in color this coin is a 90% silver proof. This coin is referred to as a reverse proof and has a weight of 12.5 grams. This coin is 90% silver and 10% copper according to mint records. The standard issue proof comes from Philadelphia.

Coinage issued in 2014 will only contain silver if minted as a silver proof. Is your coin a silver proof or just a proof? Do they weigh more than other identical coins from the same year? If so they are likely 90% silver. 90% silver coins are much denser than the modern 90% copper 10% nickel blend the mint uses today.
