Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 12:40 am Plated Wheat cent in a bezel. (See the bent back rim of the bezel at 6:30 on the reverse) If you'll check you will probably find the rim/bezel is magnetic but the center area of the coin is only slightly magnetic or not at all.

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 08:49 am I gave up trying to help the guy. It is posted on a metal detecting forum and the coin "experts" on there have now changed their mind and decided it was struck on a silver foreign coin planchet. None of these guys are collectors and know next to nothing about coins they sell most of what they find of value. One guy dug a toasted green Buff and posted it. These fools told him to scrub it with a brillo pad to get the green stuff off so he could read the date and tell if it was a 3 legger and that if he did it could be worth $1000's. I face palm myself a lot on the site. Edited by Tim Stroud 07/12/2015 08:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 02:02 am I was also thinking bezel. Doesn't appear to be a silver bezel, though. Seems too bright but maybe it is. I've seen chrome bezels, and steel bezels. I have a 1946 nickel I found CRHing with some hardened 20 year old food or more on the reverse, and it's all disgusting and probably was worn by a sweaty guy born in 1946. It's in a steel bezel.
