Carlos arriaga Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 08/12/2013 12:39 pm In 2008 I ordered From the mint 250 Dollars. After I checked every one. I didn't find any big error. But I keep some with DOUBLINGS. And Little problems in the edge-lettering. Last week I started checking MAGNET ATTRACTION AND WEIGHT. This one has 8.04 Grams and all dimension OK. But... The magnet can lift it. What you think? Report this Post to the Staff

publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 08/12/2013 12:51 pm How strong is the magnet? And will it lift any of your other dollar coins? The standard composition is clad, with a manganese-bronze surface. A sufficiently strong magnet will attract a " War Nickel", made of a silver-copper-manganese composition. I have to say, this piece looks plated. If it is ferromagnetic (much more strongly attracted to a magnet than any of your other dollars), then it would have to be either a wrong planchet or a counterfeit.
