<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 7760250, member: 15199&quot;]When a thread such as this comes up, the first question should be what kind and size of magnet is it?</p><p>A neodymium ( Rare earth) composite magnet can be multiple times stronger than a similar Iron magnet. So a heavy coat of nickel on a copper cent can barely be lifted (if at all ) by a Iron composite magnet generally about 25% of the strength, but the similar size rare earth magnet should support it to some extent.</p><p><br /></p><p>The old &quot;attracted to the magnet &quot; as a real test was dumped when the rare earth magnets became available in the 70s and the newer combinations in the 80s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
