Magnetic 2003 Gibraltar 5 pence?

Hello.

I have a 2003 Gibraltar 5 pence. The catalog indicates a copper-nickel alloy N#7659 . But my coin is magnetic. Maybe one of the owners of this coin can check? Is this a catalog error or an unspecified variety?

Without pictures, it will be very difficult for anyone to help you. Could you please post clear pictures of each side of your item?

Mine is non magnetic (die AA).

Intriguing. My die is AB.
A few photos of my coin. The last one with a magnet.

I think somebody nickel plated your coin.  Weight?

Why do it on such an insignificant small coin, also doesn't look like it has had this done from the pictures and with such a small weight differential it would be hard to say it has been. I think the research needs to be allowed a bit longer to evolve…

I don't disagree with anything you said. Just trying to explore possibilities.
