TimeMoneyCoin

This topic is a continuation of my previous discussion about the unusual magnetic 2 Kopeks 1963 coin:
https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1115817/2-kopeks-1963-magnetic-transitional-error-weight-1-78g-unusual-color-die-defect#latest

For this 1968 coin:

Weight: 2.05 g

Diameter: 18.10 mm

Strongly magnetic – attracts to a magnet without even touching it

Alloy color is much lighter than other brass 2 Kopeks from the same year, possibly indicating a higher iron content

Comparison photo included – the magnetic coin is on the right.

🔍 Questions for experts:

Could this be an alloy variation or minting error?

Have you encountered other magnetic 2 Kopeks 1968 before?

Any estimated value range for such a coin?
