Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 11/09/2022 8:32 pm Is a strong magnet attracted to it? Might be fun to try to pin down what metal was plated on the surface.

Bestjet Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 11/09/2022 10:39 pm I've got a big hard drive neodymium. It barely sticks to it. Don't know how to tell what metal though. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/10/2022 04:23 am Plated with silver or platinum. I wonder if the tissue test would work? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 11/10/2022 06:17 am Maybe @john1, but since there is a small amount of attraction by a strong magnet, my thought is nickel plating. Of course it doesn't really matter, but is rather just a fun thought experiment.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/10/2022 12:43 pm Not a premium for this coin. Plating ruins the original surface of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Bestjet Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 11/11/2022 5:56 pm Did the tissue test John1 and they both looked the same even though there`s a noticeable difference just sitting together. I like the old Washington`s better, not as ugly. Report this Post to the Staff
