<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1455230, member: 66&quot;]A pure nickel plating would be magnetic.&nbsp; Nickel is magnetic but it loses that property when the alloy of other metals reaches about 12%.&nbsp; I also suspect he is using some fairly strong magnets.&nbsp; Some of the rare earth magnets are very strong but light weight.&nbsp; I would think that a nickel plating would probably be enough for the coi to pick them up.&nbsp; A good question though would be is the coin magnetic enough for the magnet to pick up the coin easily?&nbsp; Even with a rare earth magnet I&#039;m not sure it would pick up a plated coin.&nbsp; (And from looking at a blow up of the reeded edge picture I do think it has been plated.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
