I have a magnetic 1974 half Dollar

6 posts in this topic

As I always ask, "How magnetic is it?"  Does the coin just show some attraction?  Can it be drug around but maybe not picked up?  Is the magnetic effect localized to just one area of the coin?  Or does the coin JUMP to the magnet if it gets close?

Sounds like it is either in a bezel or it has been nickel plated.  If you can't see the reeded edge it's in a bezel.  If you can see the reeds but you don't see the copper center layer it's been plated.
