Agree. Chrome or Nickel plating are magnetic and can stick if the plating is thick enough or you have a decent magnet.
Too many different coins being talked about in a single post. Each coin should be listed by the original poster under a separate post. I don't know who is who or what is what to make an intelligent comment.

I agree. It seems to happen a lot. A new member posts a new coin to an old thread. Post #37 is the start of the new coin. Fun stuff. I try to look at the dates involved but forget sometimes and get lost with what's being said.
My bad. The Nickel strike under the chrome could attract a magnet if it was thick enough, but it's probably unlikely that someone would use a 2 step process to chrome plate a cent.
No, nickel is the substrate metal that is used to that other metals will bond to the core. So it something is gold or chrome plated on copper, it will be copper, nickel, then chromium or gold.
??? That's what I thought I said. No problem. Although many may feel that we're being picky and pedantic, I think it's important that when technical/scientific information is posted on CT, it's accurate and understandable, which is the end result here.
Lincoln cents have been stamped with many different images by private companies to sell as novelties. One set was stamped with the outlines of all fifty states, your coin is one of these. While there is no value beyond one cent, they can be fun to collect if they interest you.
