<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinhead63, post: 1108014, member: 28001&quot;]When they refer to &quot;clean&quot; it doesn&#039;t mean that it looks beautiful.&nbsp; It refers to not being combined with iron or other materials or metals.&nbsp; 1944-46 and 1962-early 1982 cents are considered red brass not yellow.&nbsp; Yellow brass has a higher zinc contentent than 5%.&nbsp; These cents are clean red brass no matter how brown they are in appearance.&nbsp; If you took these and epoxied them in a chunk with iron filings it would then be scrap brass or dirty brass.&nbsp; However, I don&#039;t advocate the hoarding of brass or bronze cents for future melting.&nbsp; I have stockpiled any date of memorial cents that would grade AU or better in hopes that they might turn toward the direction the wheats have gone now that the memorial design has been replaced.&nbsp; Even if melting was legal, would you melt your cash of wheaties?&nbsp; I think not.&nbsp; They are and will be worth more than melt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
