Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 10/10/2016 10:13 pm Nice coins SPP.......Here is a 1979 nickel struck on a Bangladesh 25 Poisha steel planchet. Saw your post and thought I would share mine too. Report this Post to the Staff
Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 10/11/2016 6:51 pm These coins are made of stainless steel and are not magnetic, which is unlike regular steel. My pictures appear with a reddish tint but my coin 's color is similar to SPP's. I believe these are exceptionally scarce. SPP is fortunate to have two. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 07/19/2020 10:45 pm Just found a 1978 25c struck on the same planchet. Super bright, non-magnetic... it will be sent to PCGS for proper attribution and will become good "trade bait" with some like-minded collectors. First I have seen in a 25c.
