		The various plates and records referred to in the Book of Mormon and used in making it are (1) the plates of brass; (2) the record of Lehi; (3) the large plates of Nephi 1; (4) the small plates of Nephi; (5) the plates of Mormon; and (6) the twenty-four gold plates of Ether.
		The gold plates that the Prophet Joseph Smith received and translated were the plates of Mormon on which Mormon and his son Moroni2 made their abridgment.
		Mormon included the small plates with his record when he delivered the plates of Mormon to his son Moroni because their witness of Christ pleased him and because he was impressed by the Spirit of the Lord to include them "for a wise purpose" (W of M 1:3-7).

		To accomodate this, these new plates issued to registrants carried the same numbers as their old blue on gold plates, and their existing registration card carried over to the new plates until its natural expiration later in the year.
		The resulting plates, such as the one below, carried dies substantially different from those used on other West Virginia plates (with features such as open 6s and 9s), and additionally the rectangular surface upon which the serial was embossed was raised slightly in relation to the rest of the plate.
		The plates actually expiring in 1976, of course, were the previous blue on gold plates with yellow and green "1976" stickers.

		The Plates of Laban, Sword of Laban, the Plates of Nephi, Liahona, Plates of Ether, other records engraven on metal plates, and at least one record engraven upon stone were passed down from generation to generation.

		No original copy of this statement with their signatures exists, but the Church demonstrates this as evidence that others saw the gold plates.

	LDS Criticisms-- Weight of Gold Plates
		If the plates were gold plates of the dimensions indicated they must have weighed between 175 and 225 pounds.
		Joseph could have said that the plates were made of pure gold and given smaller dimensions to accommodate a lighter weight.
		Take the color of the plates: The plates are consistently described as ‘gold’ and ‘golden.’ When tumbaga (which is red) is treated with any simple acid (citric acid will do), the copper in the alloy is removed from its surface leaving a brilliant.0006 inch twenty-three karat gilt coating.

		Joseph Smith recorded that Moroni told him that the Nephite record was "written upon gold plates," but this does not exclude the possibility that they were actually a gold alloy.
		Since we do not know the exact dimensions of the plates, nor do we know their exact material composition, nor do we know the precise percentage of the volume that was metal instead of air, it is not possible to calculate the exact weight of the plates.
		Putnam was not the first to suggest that the "gold" of the plates was an alloy of gold and copper rather than pure gold.

	Hiding Sacred Records like the Golden Plates: A Well Established Ancient Practice
		None of this proves that Joseph really did translate the gold plates by the power of God, but it certainly puts his account of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon on a solid foundation with other ancient practices.
		Valuable records of a religious council were written on metal plates under the direction of a king who, according to tradition, also played a role in the preservation of the existing canon of Buddhist scripture.
		In addition to the mention of writings on metal plates hidden in a box, similar to Book of Mormon concepts, the story also resonates with the general LDS themes of preserving scripture, and concern over conflicting sects and interpretations introduced by men long after the original doctrines were provided.

		The "D" I refer to is the D-shape of the rings holding together the golden plates, a minor detail mentioned by only a few of the roughly twenty witnesses of the gold plates.
		In discussing this, he said that she observed that the plates were "fastened with rings thus" followed by a drawing of a D-shaped ring.
		The shape of the rings and their observation by eye-witnesses can best be explained by the hypothesis that there were actual gold plates made by actual experts in plate-based writing systems that were seen by actual witnesses.
