TheCoinHunter Pillar of the Community Canada 1461 Posts	Posted 10/31/2015 1:19 pm A regular circulation 1986 nickel would be non magnetic. The reason why it is specified on this holder is purely for the sake of attribution because it is struck on an unknown planchet. (Eg; it could have been struck on an unknown magnetic planchet).
