coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/06/2020 1:30 pm Chrome plated copper cent. Just a face value coin. After the surface if altered, the premium goes out of window to a hard core coin collector. Note the first clue that this was not sold by a collector? (Denomination on the 2X2. The U.S. Mint never struck a penny. Read the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/06/2020 4:00 pm Nickel plated. Pure nickel is highly magnetic but the plating is thin so there isn't enough nickel there to make the coin act like steel (it will stick to a magnet but it won't JUMP to the magnet.) Chromium is not magnetic, but is commonly plated over a nickel plating. Report this Post to the Staff
