I took a box knife to it and peeled some back to show copper for sure.
Thank you for the quick answers.

Am I going color blind? They look gold plated, making them Au plated.

No you are not, but you need to know how to tell the plating by looking at it too. Au plating does not tarnish and stays bright in a protective shell. Additionally Au plating would be deeper in color. Silver has a yellow hue to it as it starts to tarnish.

I also believe the lighting plays into this too.

Glad to hear that, I was starting to think I would have one more beer and who knows what they would look like then? Thanks For your good explanation though as that does help on some pin sorting I still need to do.
