<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 713802, member: 112&quot;]Ben - start your thinking with something like this. You can go to a pipe supply house and buy brand new shiny, red copper pipe - all ya want. You know what will happen to that copper pipe in about 7 days ? It starts to turn brown that&#039;s what. It&#039;s a fact of life. Copper starts to tone immediately after production. So why should coins be any different ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I think the real question that you should be asking is what did they do those coin of previous years to prevent them from toning ? Or - was the composition of the outer layer of those coins not pure copper after all ? Or - is the composition of these 2009 coins not pure copper after all ? Or - is it that nobody just ever noticed they turned brown very quickly because there was nothing special about another zincoln ? </p><p><br /></p><p>I mean think about it. Did you ever care before if a new cent turned brown or not ? There was no reason to care because nobody wanted them. Now, we have &quot;special&quot; zincolns because of the bicentennial thing. No we care. Now we are noticing.</p><p><br /></p><p>It could be that it&#039;s just that simple. Or - it could be any of those things I mentioned above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
