Welcome to the forum.

Can you please weight the coin and let us know the weight? Also when you say magnetic, is this a strong or weak magnetism?

The correct weight should be roughly 3.1g, however what your coins most likely is plated with Nickel.

this plating would mean it is slightly heavier, and depending on much it was plated would mean how attracted it would be to the magnet.

Plating coins was a science experiment done in schools in the 70's and lots of basement scientists have done this as well.
Rest in Peace
