<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4891682, member: 19463&quot;]My website had a lot of pages.&nbsp; No one read them all.&nbsp; This one had one paragraph on a magnetic coin.&nbsp; No one ever wrote about the subject and I have never checked all of my coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000b3">This poor little coin almost went unsold on eBay but I took pity on it and gave it a home. It is not a pretty example of an AE 18 of Pautalia showing Geta and Asclepius. The only thing than makes it special is that it is weakly attracted to a magnet. Bronze coins should not be magnetic. Why is this one? I would guess that it contains a bit of iron (perhaps even an iron core). This could be an accident or something as remote as a special medicinal issue containing material from a meteorite fall. (I said it was <i>remote</i>.) As a collector of meteorites (which contain iron), I was attracted to this coin. If you have any ancient coins that are magnetic, please write.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0000b3">[ATTACH=full]1180593[/ATTACH] </span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
