While I was doing my research on possible experimental planchet and other I decided to ask about your opinion. This one sticks to the magnet. no other visible or big errors but a couple of rim dents.   |

My thought is that it weighs more than the normal of 5.7,that is was plated with some kind of magnetic metal. So,PMD. John1  Edited by John1

This is the picture of the edge. Looks normal to me.  And Yes it is plated. That is what gives it extra milligrams. Suppose to be not a magnetic composition, something like gold. I do not remember exactly. I think it was sent to me as a promotion to buy some collectibles. Edited by noobz

Not normal. You should see copper on the edge. It's plated.  |

I have sets with coins like that and none of them stick to the magnet   This one did not come with a set. It was promotional, sent to me some other time, some other company I do not even remember. Same time it doesn't look any different from those in the set. |

I could agree though that plating causes this magnetism and it is possibly not 24k or similar.
Of cause I would like some more information on it and what could I do to know for sure that is not a planchets' issue?

I think you right. I am sorry. But still, I thought it was obvious from the first images.
Ok man no hard feelings and thank you.
