1906 Indian Head
I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a silver in color Indian head. It weighs 3.11 grams and is somewhat magnetic. It will fall off a magnet under its own weigh.

Re: 1906 Indian Head
I was wondering if it could been on the wrong planchet or foreign planchet. I’m starting to believe it is a fake, but it’s only been 4 days investigating it. So not willing to throw the towel in yet.

Re: 1906 Indian Head
Why magnetic? Most likely plated (also can explain a silver look). Hard to tell from the pics.
If yours is plated, the pics also make it look like yours was circulated after plating and lost some of it. Plating was done on a not-so-rare basis in the past to make jewelry.

Re: 1906 Indian Head
Plating cause some magnetism, could have been plated in the past but it doesn't look nor weigh a silver planchet weight.
Re: 1906 Indian Head
Thank you all for advice and thoughts. I believe it may be plated, but still trying to make sure. Probably wasted effort, but still fun researching.

Re: 1906 Indian Head
I do not know the specifics of the magnet. It was one I had laying around the house

Re: 1906 Indian Head
If you are unaware, magnets are sometimes rated as "lb."
Occasionally, if someone uses a heavy duty magnet to test their coins, they will encounter exactly what you have.
I use a 4 lb. magnet...

Re: 1906 Indian Head
The magnet I have use is also the magnet from my quick holster for my gun. I have one sat beside my bed to lay my gun on at night. So I’m unsure of any markings on it.
