<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 28684, member: 1859&quot;]If it slams into a magnet, then it&#039;s either pure nickel or steel composition.&nbsp; Copper-plated steel wasn&#039;t used in cents until 2000, although some &quot;patterns&quot; with a &quot;P&quot; mark were produced in 1999.&nbsp; If it&#039;s undersized and lighter than a normal cent, then it could be struck on a dime planchet.&nbsp; According to the Royal Canadian Mint website &quot;The ten cent coin was made of nickel from 1968 until 2000, when its composition was changed to nickel plated steel (92% steel, 5.5% copper, 2.5% nickel).&quot;&nbsp; It could be struck on a foreign planchet.&nbsp; You really have to get the weight and compare it to a normal dime and nickel from the same time period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
