Hey all!
Not posted in a while, and now 2 posts simultaneously! I hope it is okay that I put them separate, considering it is about different coins.

Anyhow, I have a Canadian 10 cent coin from 1999, which according to the internet could either be
Nickel coins with no mintmark (KM183)
or Nickel-plated steel coins with the mintmark P (KM183b)

Well, my coin has no mintmark, but it is magnetic (so it is likely nickel-plated steel.
So...I don't understand which coin I have.

EDIT: Never mind, I done goofed, turns out nickel is magnetic too

That's OK.
By the way, I made a decision to collect as many WORLD pure nickel coins as I can from dealers' junk boxes. Easy to identify in a junk box with a good magnet. That way, I can buy pure nickel below melt.

Some folks accumulate junk World silver, (but not unless it is below melt value).

Some people collect pure copper (copper wire is best, and cheapest, but only if you can burn the insulation off for free). I don't collect copper rounds - WAY above melt.
