<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andy21us, post: 579063, member: 2452&quot;]All the above! Althrough environment has a lot to do with how a cent will tone, the alloy of the cent will be a bigger factor. Over the years the cent has been made with different metal compounds, copper, brass, and bronze which will react differentially to the environment. The 1909 Copper/Tin/Zinc (Bronze) cent will react differentially then the 1944 Copper/Zinc (Brass) cent and likewise to the 1982 Copper Plates Zinc cent. Mainly a cent will be classified as either red, brown, or red/brown but in the right conditions a cent can change to a lot of colors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
