<p>[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2026184, member: 69760"]Reviving an old thread... I have one of these in silver color plating... but it's magnetic. How can that be? If it's silver or white gold, it can't be magnetic because those metals aren't magnetic. The coins themselves aren't strongly attracted to magnetism, and I've tested it on a regular Kennedy half dollar so I know regular Kennedy's are not magnetic. But this plated coin is magnetic... so the plating must not be silver or gold. Is it an iron-based metal plating?</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, I'm using a very powerful N52 rare earth magnet so it'll be able to attract even small magnetic forces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
