[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3191751, member: 78298"]It's almost 100% that your coin is 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. The color of your 1941 is not a great barometer. Copper coins can get that color from cleaning and not toning. (I'm not saying you cleaned it, it could have been cleaned long before it reached you.)
