Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 09/07/2019 12:12 pm Welcome to the forum! I agree with John1, but baffled as to the purpose for plating it. Worth keeping as a conversation piece though. ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon Report this Post to the Staff
Braddock New Member Canada 5 Posts	Posted 09/07/2019 12:18 pm this is a hypothesis? normally when it is plated it is not magnetic but this piece is magnetic Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/07/2019 1:27 pm I believe nickel is magnetic.Might be a school project. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/07/2019 5:18 pm The coin might have been light from being circulated and plating does not add much weight. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/07/2019 8:11 pm Looks like a case of a single plating on the coin. Leaving the surface rough, the surface may have been not prepared at all. The altered surface is not desired to a real coin collector. Report this Post to the Staff
