mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9156 Posts	Posted 12/11/2012 1:30 pm Sorry no pics, coin too shiny. I have a 1974 that looks like it has been re-plated with something. it has a real bright shine like a new chrome bumper and you can see where some of the plating has come off, just small spots. Now when I put the magnet to it, it sticks just lightly. To my eye it is just like the other 5 I have except for the re-plate job. Can this be cause by the plating? If not my first fake. I know you still want pics, Report this Post to the Staff

It is likely just plated, I would have a hard time believing someone would fake a common date kennedy. If you cannot see the copper on the edge, I would take some sand paper and rub the edge down it untill you can. This will prove it is just plated if that is the case. Report this Post to the Staff
