Magnetic Jefferson nicke

[Juanda7777]

Can a 1943 P Jefferson nicke be strongly magnetic to any magnet and also sounds like regular nicke?

Based on the composition of Silver, Copper and manganese in 1943, it should not be magnetic at all.

What do you recommend me to do I would like to have it grade it but I don’t know where or how? I just started to collect coins no to long ago!

My worry is it was plated with a white metal that is magnetic. I'd want to know the weight. If it's not an error, you don't want to send it to TPG as it would be a waste of money.

4.95 grams

So it's close in weight, that strongly suggests it's not an off metal error. That doesn't answer why it's magnetic, but I am not sure where else to go with it as the only thing really worth pursuing would be to identify it as a different metal.

I will take it to a lab content X-ray on Monday! So I know the alloys! Thanks for you help. All I know that is not a normal coin ! I hope the results come with no silver and plated strongly with nickel!

Each coin (or in this case group of coins) should be in its own post please. It keeps it from getting confusing and allows people to use the search function more effectively.

I m reiterating Bob's comment/concern to keep it to one coin per post please.
