Wooden nickles would be in the same category, correct ?
I'm guessing the platting made it magnetic, is that possible ?
The reverse has the same low spots as many of the normal copper cents show.
Was this manufactured ? Very Clean looking also.

Plated, nothing special
If plated with pure nickel, it would become somewhat attracted to a magnet.
Likely plated... Looks like it in the pictures.... Cheers, RickO
Sorry I forgot to mention the die crack on the reverse side,
end to end of the steps.
If plated, any answers why,where, and ..Why ?
I read silver platting is all the rage if they wanted that effect.
In hand it looks very smooth.
The biggest thing about this coin, You cant look a gift horse in the mouth.
Thanks for your help people.
