Thanks.
Yes. Zinc can show Eddy's currents, and if plated in steel it would show small amounts of ferromagnetism.
The question is how magnetic? Strongly? Weakly? Hardly? Its important to know this to see if it is solid steel or maybe just trace magnetism from...
Your right. I took a closer look. But what would get it to be magnetic?
He said its magnetic. Its obvious. The 8 is differently shaped than the usually 1948 cents.

Yes please edit it out for me. Ive seen people put t in their bio before. Thanks for the warning.

Hi! Welcome to Cointalk and numismatics. That is very similar to your die crack post. This is also a break in the die. Its called a retained...

Maybe flow lines or took an acid bath. Probably excessive flow lines. I think I see the FG barely. -SC
