reyes0025 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 8:29 pm Could it possibly be 60% Nickel, 40% Silver because of the slight magnetic properties? Need some advice. Thanks! ywhxgg_1N38 d Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 8:43 pm @rey, first welcome to CCF. Second, what is the weight of this coin? That is always a good first step. Thx.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 10:38 pm it looks like it was a neckless at some point. But pictures are better than videos in my opinion. Also you should not be handling your coins like that, - by the edges only. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

The most common cause of a weak magnetic attraction is nickel plating. Double-plated coins that consist of an inner layer of nickel and an outer layer of some other metal will also create a weak magnetic pull. Plated for it's life as jewelry.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6473 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 11:55 pm You can generate a magnetic counter-response in lots of conductive metals by waving a strong magnet over it. I do agree that hunk of foreign metal seems to be more magnetically responsive. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 10/09/2023 09:02 am I agree with those saying it's because of the extra metal attached to the Ike.

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 10/09/2023 9:55 pm Unless it was an error coin without the attached metal which I agree is the likely cause rather than the coin itself as normally there would not be a 1974 silver except in those minted for collectors with s mint (uncirculated and proof). 1974 Copper-Nickel Clad Uncirculated 1974-D Copper-Nickel Clad Uncirculated 1974-S Copper-Nickel Clad Proof 1974-S 40% Silver Clad Uncirculated 1974-S 40% Silver Clad Proof weight 24.59g composition 40% silver bonded to core of pure copper 1971-s, 1972-s, 1973-s, 1974-s, 1976-s 75% copper, 25% nickel 1971pd-1976pd and 1977 and 1978 pds weight 22.68g See this link for some general further info on the ikes https://www.gainesvillecoins.com/bl...dollar-value Report this Post to the Staff
