<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 3209326, member: 43872&quot;]Krause says Loonies are &quot;aureate bronze plated nickel.&quot;&nbsp; The coins pictured here look more like nickel than silver.&nbsp; You can check that with a magnet.&nbsp; Nickel, depending on the alloy, should stick to a magnet.&nbsp; Silver will not.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming it is nickel, you either have a mint error, missing bronze plate, or you have post mint damage, removed bronze plate.&nbsp; In either case, the weight would be slightly less than the regulation weight.&nbsp; I am not an expert, but to me joshgiles&#039;s coin looks more like missing plating while ben johnson&#039;s coin, because it is so much rougher, looks more like a removed plating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
