Gold Electroplating Silver Coins




I am new to the plating hobby. I have been able to secure a brush plating machine and I would like to 24K Gold plate some silver coins. These are pure 99.9% silver coins from the US mint. The solution I intend to use for plating is Potassium Aurocyanide. Will I run into any problems getting the Gold to take? What process should I use, cleaning, polishing, etc.? or where can I go for this info?

The supplier of the brush plating system should be able to help you on this. If not, or for more general help, the 'bible' of brush plating is Rubinstein's Electrochemical Metallizing.
