How do I overprint black with gold and have it shown in overprint view?

Hi @Lordrhavin , Also, InDesign does’t have accurate color mangement for Spot colors. The solid color libraries like Pantone+ Coated, which are defined as instrument read Lab values, can display accurately at 100% with no overprint, but there is no way to spec the opacity of an ink relative to what it is printing over, or its dot gain at different percentages. If you are overprinting, blending, or running the solid inks at a percentage, you can’t rely on a screen soft proof.

Are you sure to overprint with metallic any other color. Ask your printer if thT is a good idea. I would not do that. 

I think it would help if you could include some screenshots to assist your description.

So you have a black object in the background, and a PANTONE 871 object in the foreground (i.e. above the black object) and you have been asked to make the PANTONE 871 object overprint the black object, correct?

This is how it should look without overprint;

and this is how it should look with overprint

That is actually correct. InDesign treats all inks on-screen as if they were transparent, but PANTONE 871 is opaque, meaning it won't blend into the colours below it. It doesn't look right on screen, but so far as colour separation is concerned then the behaviour is correct.

However, setting colours to overprint isn't something I generally ask people to do during the design stage - this will be something that I do as a prepress operator in order to get the job to print appropriately.
