[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3449026, member: 78298"]It's a penny. Keep it if it looks cool. It's not worth anything. (.01 cent) Very few things are magnetic. The most common are iron and nickel. Steel is magnetic because it has iron in it. US nickels are not magnetic because they are 25% nickel and 75% copper. So the plating could be the reason why your silver looking penny is magnetic. (Cobalt is magnetic, but it is unlikely to be on your coin.)[/QUOTE]
