[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 813326, member: 16510"][b]Your coin is not considered "one of the Brass Plated cents that can be verified.[/b] Your coin is not considered "one of the Brass Plated cents that can be verified. Ken Potter has some attributed by ANACS only I think and the dates are 1985, 1997, 1998 - I don't even think NGC or PCGS cares about these. Being brass in color is not the criteria though - it's that they were left to long in the plating bath (or not long enough) I forget and they were zinc cents. All Lincoln's from 1962 to 1981 though are brass composition in case you wanted to know so it is nothing special that your 1971 is brass, it is. It is only special that the ones I mentioned being copper coated turned out a significant number that really were different in color, dramatically in color. Side by side tey are a pale yellow, very different. You can also find some 1983-P & D that have this effect.[/QUOTE]
