<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 36704, member: 66"]The brass plated cents were created when zinc planchets got stuck in the plating barrel they would dissolve and contaminat the plating solution. Then when later batches of blanks were plated instead of being plated with pure copper, they got a mixture of copper and zinc. In other words Brass. And they aren't a true mint error because the mint doesn't make the planchets, and the "brass" plating composition varies all over the place. And since the solution starts becoming contaminated with the very first batch of blanks plated you could say that ALL of the plated cents are brass plated with the composition of the brass on every batch being different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
