Dragg Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 10:43 pm I have looked all over the Internet and can not find any company that makes a Gold plated Steel Planchette Penny..and it is the same Diamiter as other wheat pennys.Need information if possible.All company on internet use real pennys for Gold playing. Can this be a possible wrong Planchette Error before it was plated..the penny shows wear on letters A.M of America like it was in circulation before it was plated?

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 2319 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 11:23 pm It is not legitim penny. Take the weight also. In 1955 at San Francisco do not strike steel or other magnetic coins. Your design it is not what was use for the wheat cents. Edited by silviosi 01/27/2022 11:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 12:40 am If the plating is thick enough, it can have a magnetic attraction strong enough to hold the coin in place on a magnet. This is considered PMD, and no premium associated with damage like this. Report this Post to the Staff
Dragg Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 02:03 am The coin has a chip on the Rim Above liberty showing steel Planchette..and gold is non magnetic Report this Post to the Staff
Dragg Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 02:05 am Only silver is slightly magnetic Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 2319 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 02:46 am The silver is not magnetic. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 867 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 04:36 am Most likely a layer of nickel under the gold, plating is usually done with layers of different metal, nickel is ferromagnetic. The silver color you are seeing in the chip would be the nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 67803 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 08:41 am The gnomes at Littleton might be the culprits here. Report this Post to the Staff
Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 10:32 am it's "gold tone plated" not gold plated and this is why it's magnetic, same type of plating they use to make the gold toned rims for cars. Just a guess and an opinion, but probably a plating business's sample piece, and it's probably titanium nitride or some other similar material, and a magnetic layer underneath.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 57472 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 12:57 pm Probably plated first with Nickel or chrome plating. It will show a slightly magnetic attraction. Not like a steel cent that jumps toward a magnet. Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use and I'm glad to say, you can now you can see the DVD in sections on youtube: 1. Intro, older coins, toned coins 2. Doubled dies 3. Die events, One of a kind errors 4. So called errors, Coin information 5.
