1995-D Yellow Jacket Lincoln Cent - Brass Plated Planchet Strike

In addition to the more known dates like the 1983, 1985-D, 1997, 1997-D & 1998.

This is my confirmed 1995-D Brass Plated Planchet Strike. Anyone have other dates?

Now that is cool! A brass penny...

 

never seen 1. interesting.

 

Just out of curiosity, how was it confirmed? I have 4-5 similar that I have put away over the years, and would like to either confirm them or spend them. I don't like having all that money tied up if I could be using it to buy.... well, virtually nothing, but you get the idea.

Edit: I counted them up and I have five, so I actually have enough to buy a nickel .

 

Is the brass supposed to be heavier? I'm confused as usual, I thought the yellow one is being referred to as brass which is normal weight 2.5g and the other is not far off. I have some in jar much similar looking to; so yes how did you confirm it please.

 

Briboy07 the weight is indistinguishable from a normal Zincoln scale would help unless it weight more.

• Found in OBW BU Roll from 1995 - possession
  
• Yellow and still has very nice luster, it is most likely a brass plated specimen
• Compared color to both a 1985-D TPG original "Yellow-Jacket-Hoard" specimen & PCI JT Stanton examples

But for me and my collection and I don't sell anything kind of a coin hoarder...

What meant to say was this was confirmation enough for me the combination of possession of coins so they wouldn't of have been used in science project. I guess if you wanted to sell them you might need more solid confirmation.

Only way to 100% accuracy is an XRF test to analyze the plating composition. Or you can get a tpg stabbed examples.

Science project coins plated coins don't have same luster and need pre 1982 copper coin if done with zinc it will lack the luster
