<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JWH78, post: 3515757, member: 96915&quot;]I&#039;ve came across this nickel in my pocket change last week. I&#039;m still having a hard time believing it myself. It&#039;s got a couple of miles on it. I&#039;ve doing some research on it. As y&#039;all know wartime nickels were minted of copper silver and manganese. None of the 3 have no natural magnetic properties but before the war they were minted on nickel and copper planchets and nickel has natural magnetic properties and copper is used electric magnets. Now with that being said I&#039;m at a point to where I believe that this 1943 S War Nickel maybe minted on the wrong planchet. When I put a rare earth magnet up real close to it it tries to stick to it. The rare earth magnet causes it to move around some and lift it up a little bit. I have picked the nickel all the way up&nbsp; (around 2 inches high) before it falls off 3 different times. I would love to hear y&#039;alls thoughts and opinions on it. I&#039;m sure y&#039;all can guess what I&#039;m thinking lol. Thanks in advance to everybody for your thoughts.
