  1. It's yellow colored and it does stick to a magnet. Pictures arent the best. I will take more if needed. What do I have ? And please, I'm learning so please be kind.

    It’s been plated with something. The fact that it now sticks to a magnet is a dead giveaway. A fun coin to add some novelty to your collection, but not an error of any kind.

    Also looks like it has doubling.

    Not seeing doubling. The plating is really shiny on this one though, could be a reflection.

    It’s a 1973 so no plating but I do know what you mean.

    She said it sticks to a magnet.. not that it was magnetic. So that's ferromagnetic plating. Altered Cent.
