I got this coin from a Cora Dodd's Safe in paris crossing indiana. they ran a funeral home, so he was an undertaker. they died and family inherited the house. the house was condemned. nobody could get the safe open. they offered me 50% if I got it open. I Did and I know that safe had not been opened since before I was born. there was paperwork, paper money, jewlery, and many coins from the mint in that safe including this coin. you can google Cora Dodd to confirm most of what I just wrote. in conclusion I am almost 40 years old. you think a old timer, a undertaker, put an after market coin in his safe 50 years ago. its Legit from the U.S. Mint. I'd bet my life on it. Sincerely The Peasant King |

Nickel is a magnetic metal and makes up 25% by weight of a Nickel.
Neodymium is the strongest magnetic metal there is.
My question: Is a standard Nickel attracted to a neodymium magnet?

I do thank you for looking though. I just thought it would be a good novelty type coin to show here. Its probably one of my favorite coins i'v found. Seriously though if it was a fake made 50+ years ago, I'm guessing its still worth more than face. heck i'v already made thousands of this coin without selling it. I used it to put my ex to sleep, and well lets just say she has been a delight ever since.
Sincerely
The Peasant King

Normal Nickels are Diamagnetic so they don't react or will push the magnet away or run from the mag. this Nickel is ParaMagnetic.

Plated coin with nickel. It will show a slight attraction. Once plated, they are no longer original and not something a real collector would desire. It would be rejected by the graders as a not original surface coin. Possibly give a genuine show of a slab with no grade. Not worth having it graded.

all U.S. coinage is DiaMagnetic (few exceptions)
Magnetic = 1943 Steel cents, some canadian and foreign coinage.
Paramagnetic = i'v only ever seen 2 coins.
Side note- While I have received a possitive reaction to a few Wartime nickels, it was very weak attraction and
i don't think it Qualifies as ParaMagnetic

This Nickel in the picture Is ParaMagnetic and it came that way from the United States Mint. So this coin would get a slab
and a grade if I chose to do that. it has only been damaged by circulation and has never been altered. Although this coin has never been in circulation, I say that because I use it alot.

Anyhow it wasn't a circulation strike. So it was never Intended to be circulated so I'm guessing it would be graded on a proof scale and i'v used it for 2 years so it would not grade out well. it would be eligible for other designations. It is Novelty but a Novelty Coin Made in the U.S. Mint.

A real Collector of United States Numismatic Rarities would without a doubt want this coin. Someone who just says everything is fake, is not a real Collector.

Agree, a likely rarity. Would you care to put a price on it, @Peasantking?

I'm not quite sure why an 84-year-old coin being in a safe for 50 years would imply it could have never been plated.
