The Antique Plating Process Explained

Antique plating involves a secondary process where a dark recessed effect is added to the coin’s surface. This is achieved by:

  1. Base Plating: The coin is electroplated with real Gold, Silver, or Copper.
  2. Oxidation: A darkening agent is applied to create a "weathered" look.
  3. Relief Polishing: The raised 3D areas are polished back to their original luster, creating a beautiful contrast that makes 3D designs "pop."
