<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nyatii, post: 3298034, member: 85686&quot;]I know that everyone went back and forth for awhile on this, however Red Book shows brass was used 1944-1946. I do believe the cents weren&#039;t straight brass as the amount of brass taken in wouldn&#039;t keep up with the cents produced. Unless they just used the brass until it ran out and then substituted other metal. Brass from shell casings has a distinctive color. Even as it ages. Of course I&#039;ve been wrong before, and many more on here have greater knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Off to make some shell casings out of ammo....maybe I&#039;ll send them to the mint.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
