Coin and Paper Money Collecting/Gold Bicentennial Quarter

Question
QUESTION:  The gold bicentennial quarter dated  1776-1976 looks just like a regular quarter except its gold why are the gold quarters so hard 2 come across. Because I haven't seen a gold quarter since that time...why???

ANSWER: The coin was plated outside of the mint and had no value to a coin collector. You are a nasty, mean spirited human being who does not know how to read, write or speak in the English language. The coin, like you, is worthless. Do you understand that?

Answer
Nothing personal, Kim, and I an neither anger or hostile. But you know nothing of coins how you "saw" it is wrong and your response was thoughtless and nasty for someone seeking free information. As as for my creditals, look at my website. I am recognized by the US Congress as an expert, so, let us see, is Kims opinion correct or the United States Congress correct, let me think about that. And I do this for free as a sport. I have written five books on this subject and bill more per hour than you probably earn in a week for people who actually need serious information about real rare coins for tax and estate use purposes. You think about what you have said and try saying it in a more lady-like manor to the next person you deal with. You should think twice about what you say about someone, anyone, before you speak.
