@JTCC, with all my respect. If it was Pareidolia, the pattern of the eagle beak and the neck lines will not connect with other area. Please see the last image i,ve posted above.
The other area is the olive's leaf part and the eagle's claw.
About why is attracted to magnet. I just want to confirm about this youtube channels, This gentlemen, showing he test walking liberty dollar, barber using magnet.
Solo, in some cases the Ni, Cu stick to magnet. the Au (gold) and Si (silver) also can stick to magnets according to theirs alloy composition. Silver and Gold attract by the magnet is use more in goldsmith production. Example: Blue Gold is Gold and Iron alloy so will stick to magnet. Same with silver with Iron alloy use main for table wares, will stick with magnets. In theory all metals could stick with magnets. In fact the electromagnetic field EMF is present everywhere in this planet. Other example: An 10 feet vertical 1mm Cu wire which is not de-oxygenate at the bottom will give you 2 to 5 V electricity due to EMF.
PS.: In the case of IKE production, well documented, was use pure? (99.99%) silver and cooper who come direct from an US mine. So the IKE must not stick. this it is the case of Silver. The Ni clad use pure Ni from an Canadian mine, so no alteration on alloy. Was use Canadian mine because that mine has the nickel and cooper together, so easy to perform the clad. Hope help.
