Today I was going through my loose change when I noticed a 1999 nickel that appeared to have the same finish as the later years that were plated. It has no mintmark on it. Is a plated 1999 even a possibility, or did the nickel alloy ones appear the same when they were nearly uncirculated? Sorry about no pics, I will take some and post them tomorrow.

Do a magnet test.
Plated will be magnetic,cupro nickel won't.

I can't believe I forgot about the magnet test! I need to get more sleep! It isn't magnetic so I believe it is not a plated nickel, just really shiny. You two win the fast reply award too. Thanks.
