spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/25/2017 12:37 am Quote: If it is weakly magnetic, then I suspect that your coin is a nickel-plated normal cent. If it were a pure nickel coin (or steel), it would jump off a table to a strong magnet. If it were a copper-nickel alloy coin, it wouldn't be magnetic at all. I don't know of a coin composition that is naturally weakly magnetic other than one that is nickel-plated over a nonmagnetic base (like copper).

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 6:35 pm I think that solves it. It must be a normal cent that was plated with nickel. The plating itself would add a negligible amount to the weight.
