Hopefully it’s just a common cold.

 

Maybe it's actually made of gold!


Just kidding.. They have some Copper plated Zinc Cents that have a Brassy color to them. It looks like brass to me.

 

Lol hi Hans how are you

 

Hi sir good afternoon! Is penny zinc weight also 3.1?

 

1982 was a transition year where there was both copper 3.11, early in the year and zincolns 2.5 later in the year produced

 

About the colour; brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. When coins are plated, some zinc goes (dissolves) into the copper plating solution. With the time more zinc gets into the copper, making brass and turning it more yellow. When the plating is too contaminated with zinc and the colour is too far from what it should be, it gets replaced with a new copper solution.

 

Hi sir good afternoon sorry for late response super busy at work . And thank you so much for your time ... so what is this pennny sir is this valuable or not ?

 

It looks like a copper cent. Does it weigh 3.1 grams? It appears to be coated or plated to me by the photos. I find coins coated in paint, nail polish, or were some kind of school experiment. If it’s just paint or polish an acetone bath would remove it.

 

No not valuable =1 cent . Just my 2 Cents . LOL

 

Hi Dan good morning sorry for late response I come home late night and exhausted but tonight I will try nail polish see if it’s work ..thank you so much for your opinion. Have a good day!

 

Thank you so much dear...

 

Thank you all so much for the time and opinion have a good day guys mwah

 

Nail polish remover is not pure acetone, it has added elements in the mix, but on that cent I guess it doesn't matter

 

Thank you so much for this info sir . In the future I already have idea. Hugs
