No, scratching an old gold coin won't reveal silver. Gold and silver are distinct metals; scratching gold won't change its composition to silver.
Yes
None that I know of. The idea behind having a different metal in the core of any coin is to increase the coin's structural integrity. Gold is quite soft and though valuable, would make a poor choice for any coin. You may be thinking of a so-called bimetallic coin. Many countries issue these coins, but they're made of brass and copper-nickel, not gold and silver. Examples are the Canadian $2 coin, the European €1 and €2 coins, and the British £2 coin.
Because they mostly have a collectible value.
Not a meaningful question. Gold coins were made from gold and copper without any silver in them. Silver coins were made from silver and copper without any gold.
It was a gold or silver coin
No silver or gold 1 dollar coins were struck in 1933
The answer is yes to both. The outer layers of the coin are 80% silver / 20% copper and the core has essentially the reverse percentages, for an overall content of 40% silver / 60% copper.In average condition they sell for $2.50 - $3.00 based on the price of silver as of 11/2009
