<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1703056, member: 112&quot;]A 1950 cent that is magnetic ? A few possibilities I can think of. 1 - it&#039;s an out and out fake, a counterfeit. 2 - it&#039;s a genuine mint error, somehow struck on a &#039;43 planchet that got stuck in a hopper or something. 3 - it&#039;s plated, possible, but given the weight you report and the apparent color of the pics you posted (assuming that color is accurate) I think it unlikely it&#039;s plated. 4 - a genuine mint error struck on a foreign planchet. 5 - it&#039;s an altered coin. That what you call corrosion on the edge could be where the coin was drilled out and filled with a magnetic material in an effort to fool some collector. (essentially another version of it being a counterfeit)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
