coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/07/2020 1:40 pm If plated, the coin would be right in the ballpark for weight. If you are referring to it being magnetic, it is not a steel cent. Nickel plating is magnetic. Just enough to move the coin a bit, but not jumping like a steel cent would be. (Steel cents weight 2.7 grams) Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/08/2020 6:26 pm Sorry,pics are lacking. You can plainly see it is unusually shiny. Most likely plated with a magnetic metal. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/08/2020 6:29 pm Agree, appears plated even in these blurry pics. Report this Post to the Staff
Mequin New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 11/09/2020 02:28 am I understand the pictures aren't the greatest. But any incite on this magnetic plating would help. The penny is muti colored. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/09/2020 12:14 pm As I mentioned, if it was plated with nickel, it is magnetic, but weak because of the copper core. Just a light attraction. Report this Post to the Staff
