Jannibaby New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 12:33 am This is a silver tone coin, kinda heavy (my wonderful weight watchers scale weighed it at below 50 grams and above 25 grams) great to have it narrowed down, huh? Magnets stick to it, so I guess that means something. Please be gentle with your responses, I have no idea what I have gotten myself into with coin collecting, I am an uneducated neophyte. Thanks for you help. (I am sorry the photos are of poor quality, this is the best my iPad could do). Report this Post to the Staff

I'm afraid it does: it means that this coin is not genuine. Genuine coins of this design are made of silver, and silver does not stick to a magnet. This is a modern steel fake, of the kind being mass-produced in China these days. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

An authentic coin may be seen here. Gary Report this Post to the Staff
