New member of my educational collection. Weight is 2.7 and yes it is unfortunately magnetic. My fabulous coin shop gave it to me free ( they know I pick up educational pieces to reference) As I looked closer I'm just stumped how they could have plated it without any weight difference. And ..how does plating effect Die Deterioration. ( looks like that on the date )   |

Not sure how they plated it perfectly, but they definitely did a great job! Nice education piece.  Errers and Varietys.

I love a good fake, and that is a good fake. Excellent addition to your collection.

Plating on an Ike only ads about .2 grams, it would be hard to notice in a penny weight Wise as it would probably only add about .002 g

Check uTube...several videos on copper plate transfer, it's really quite easy

Rookie2018, that's why I call it an educational collection.Its more about something I can refer back too. This one is a good example for me..because looks like a duck,walks like a duck ..But is a fake. And it was free..but I would have paid a $1 or $2 to have this reminder to look more into things like this.

Absolutely! I get it! It's a good one, especially for free

That is a very convincing plating job. Unfortunately for a crook, scales and magnets exist!  Like Gincoin43 said, the plating adds so little weight in most cases that it is negligible. Interesting piece. I would have picked it up, too. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
