CSOTUS Pillar of the Community 1153 Posts	Posted 01/24/2016 08:59 am 1907 is the highest mintage IHC they produced with over 100 million. Without looking too closely I would guess it was plated with something that has worn off which makes it slightly magnetic. Report this Post to the Staff
Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 01/24/2016 09:49 am It would' be hard to think of a reason for someone to make a replica of a coi that goes for about a dollar. I agree that it was mostly likely plated when it was already worn given that it's super common and low grade. At first I could think of maybe cheap fake jewelry. Report this Post to the Staff
