<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 67126, member: 1674&quot;]1976--Please don&#039;t yell at us (type in all caps)&nbsp; it is rather rude.&nbsp; As for your coin, copper can tarnish (tone) to look like brass, but my guess is that the chemical composition of the metal was just off a little.&nbsp; Brass is ~75% Copper and ~25% Zinc while the propper composition of a 1976 cent is 95% copper and 5% zinc.&nbsp; It is not unheard of for the metals to not be perfectly alloyed and my guess is that is what happened to your coin.&nbsp; If that is the case I&#039;d imagine that it has very little additional collector value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
