Coin Scavenger Valued Member Canada 444 Posts	Posted 11/10/2014 12:52 am Thank you for the offer. How much information would be produced by a third party grader, and what would be the additional cost, or would they be able to properly inform on this case. Thanks again for the information and interest. Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 11/10/2014 07:09 am My best guess would have been Bangladesh 25 paisha, which is 2.7g stainless steel. But that should be magnetic I think. Maybe it is an overweight Barbados 10 cents, which should be 2,26g (copper nickel). I have one of those....let me double check the weight. I think mine was very close to the expected weight. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 11/11/2014 9:43 pm The Canadian 1-cent coins struck on Bangladesh 25 poisha planchets are indeed magnetic. I have two different years struck on that planchet - both are magnetic.
