I was just trying to get to the root of the op's question as it seemed a touch unclear
You are correct I would think as even if it is possible, and did happen, that if a sheet of 43 steel was used to cut 42 quarter planchets others from the sheet would have shown up by now

Hi,I actually put the post up here to get some info I was thinking of buying it,I just bought it a minute ago so it's on the way to me,what the heck it's only 20 bucks I think I can afford a 20 dollar loss.
When it gets here I'll weigh it and put up better pics.

I've purchased error coins from the guy before and all were correct to what he said they were so when he said a magnet picks it up I have no reason to think he's not accurate so I'll just have to wait and see,is it a 43 penny planchet,probably not,but might be a foreign planchet ?

I looked at probably 50 on ebay and agree it looks silver,but the guy said it's magnetic ? |

Could it have been plated with something (mercury?) and is now peeling?

Could be mercury,I have to see when it comes,if it's silver oh well,throw it in the silver pile,but for 20 bucks if I didn't buy it it would probably bug me cause the guy has lots of coins and he's always been honest so when he said a magnet picks it up I didn't ask anything further.I don't ask the owners too many questions(as you guys all know) or they get thinking what us coin guys are thinking.The opposite is true also,lots of guys think cause it's a 150 year old coin it must be worth thousands and thousands of dollars,you'll never change their mind so no point trying too.

Hi,if you read the post I mentioned I bought it and these are the only pictures I have to go on and will put up pictures when it arrives,if it gets here and it's silver this thread is done but I'll still put up a final post,all I can say is the fella swears it's magnetic,for a lousy $20 bucks,good enough for me to take a shot at it.

I'm curious to see the edge. Maybe it's a spy coin. It doesn't seem likely though. Still - if it really is magnetic ...it's going to be fun to follow this thread.

My prediction, either a counterfeit, or a quarter plated with nickel making it SLIGHTLY magnetic.
