Oh, for the love of God, man! You're not helping your case with this nonsense.

Please, either engage in a reasonable manner or simply submit the coin.

A Steelhead is a fish. It's a cross between a trout and a salmon. They are strong and really put up a great fight.

 

I wouldn't trust the mail, don't send it in to get authenticated, you should take it in personally.

 

Caught me a steelhead a few years back...nice fighter.

Canada nickel coins ARE magnetic.

 

US nickels are non-magnetic because they are 35% copper.
Canada coins are nearly pure nickel and are magnetic.

 

SOME are magnetic, but not all nor is this solely due to nickel as claimed. Later dates are mostly steel and for a number of years prior to that they shared the same composition as their US counterparts.

Umm... no, they're not 35%, but 75%.

 

It is not a rare coin, it is not a mint product... it is post mint damage...someone tried to make a coin appear to be what it is not...

 

Please Google "electroplating".

 

Hey speak english. I have no idea what your trying to say. Take the time to really splain yourself

 

You need a nap

 

I believe the more important question, if you say it has a copper center, is how would the mint planchet sheet of mixed metals get into the mint? I have several "coated" pennies, both in chrome or steel and two 1943 in copper. Thing is, they have scratches that prove they are coated.

 

Whew!

 

@Coinhunter777 You threw up a good challenge, how about a close up detailed photo of the coin in question?

 

I don't think English is his first language.

 

You are correct the 35% that I was remembering
was the silver content of war nickels.

 

This is a retirement coin (unlike yours):

 

BooksB4Coins -The statement I made about Canada coins should have stated MANY are magnetic. That word was dropped either inadvertently or the auto correct hit me. Since I'm not a Canadian I only know about the Canuck coins that I've found circulating below the border in the US. Either way the statement I was replying to that said nickel is not magnetic is false. Some nickel coins of sufficient purity ARE magnetic.
