<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 4283690, member: 66&quot;]I think it has been plated.&nbsp; The OP coin does have some shine to it but it doesn&#039;t appear to be mint luster.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Because pure nickel is one of the few metals that is magnetic at room temperature.&nbsp; I believe cobalt is another one.&nbsp; Nickel typically loses that magnetic property once other metals are added to the alloy in quantities greater than 12%&nbsp; (In other words once the alloy is less than 87% nickel it is no longer magnetic.) the plating on a nickel plated coin is still pure nickel so the plating will be magnetic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
