2016 Roosevelt Dime – Strongly Magnetic!

😳

1y ago

This a very unusual and mysterious 2016 Roosevelt Dime that displays strong magnetic attraction—something that absolutely should not occur with a standard U.S. dime minted after 1965.

Key Features:

Year: 2016

Obverse Design: Franklin D. Roosevelt

Magnetic: Yes – lifts easily with a neodymium magnet

Appearance: Darker tone with a bronze or golden hue

Condition: Circulated but well-defined

This coin stands out for one big reason: U.S. dimes are not magnetic. They are made of a copper core clad in nickel, and both metals are non-magnetic. The fact that this coin is picked up by a magnet raises the strong possibility of a wrong planchet error, a rare mint composition mistake, or potentially a foreign coin blank used in error.

’m reaching out to anyone in the numismatic community who may have insight or experience with similar coins. If you can offer advice, suggestions, or even help getting this coin certified.
