<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 196997, member: 4552&quot;]Back to the 59D Cent that looks like a dime. If Mercury coated no big thing if you touch it. Mercury poisoning is from an awful lot more contact than a touch. many kids play with the stuff in Chem classes and as long as it&#039;s in small amounts, no big thing. As to this coin being attracted to a magnet but not sticking. One more piece of the puzzle. Actually many metals and even some non metals are magnetic or can be made to be magnetic so a magnet test is basically irrilivant. Check out AlNiCo as an example of a meterial that is stronger magnetically than iron. Then there are numerous stainless stells that are non magnetic. </p><p>However, that coin of yours is strange. Supprized that you didn&#039;t notice a bulge at the location of the coin. The photo is not the best but appears to be in excellant condition and may be just missing the Copper coating, acid dipped to remove the outer coating, completely faked coin, etc. I would keep it if I were you. It may be worth more if it&#039;s an error from the Mint, not that the Mint makes errors of course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
