When tested the metal ring was strongly attracted to a magnet. Therefore we now believe that the ring is made of some
ferromagnetic metal, possibly an iron alloy or maybe nickel.
As of now, we know of no other example of an encased farthing
which has this magnetic property. (Images and Information Courtesy of Bob Byrne U.S.A.)
