<p>[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 79351, member: 4350"]Hi,</p><p>The current cents are a copper plating over zinc. On occasion, the mix of copper ends up having zinc in it which creates a yellow brass color. The brass-plated cents as they are called are valuable depending on the degree of yellow color vs. copper color. I'll scan a few later to show the difference. They are not plated outside the mint.</p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
