I got this in some change at the store today. My question is. Is it gold or what?

[size=x-large][/size]People plate every thing for different reasons, they may have been several of them plated for some kind of contest, like a seeded hunt or some thing. Who knows...........
Congrats and HH to all, NancyA blind deaf guy named Josh Tatum had a good thing going in 1883 gold plating nickels. The V nickel came out with no indication of the "V" meaning cents. He and his co-conspirators plated the nickels with gold, Josh would make the rounds silently spending them and hopefully getting back change for a 5 dollar gold piece, and move on. He was caught, and no prosecution went through because of him not being able to hear, see, or speak. Hence, the saying "Just joshin' ya!". Soon the nickel was re-issued with the word "Cents" prominently positioned on the reverse. Not joshin' ya!
I by accident (not thinking) cleaned a bunch of coins in the tumbler once and when I checked on it's progress, the pennies put a light copper tint on the nickles, dimes and quarters. Actually they were closer to a light brass color. I don't recall the solutions I mixed in with water which probably has something to do with coloration reaction.
They spent well for some pocket change anyway.
Don't clean the coins anymore since the tumbler broke and then I broke the wife's sonic jewelery cleaner trying an experiment. She still don't know I was the one that broke it. Whew!

A cashier at one of our local mini marts was going through the coins in the register and found a grungy dime.He held it close to a good light source and discovered that this grungy dime was a 1927 10 dollar gold piece.He showed it to me as proof of his find.He is leaving it in the condition he found it,being afraid it might get damaged while cleaning. At first glance,it looks like a Mexican coin.....Tom
