<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 130345, member: 4552&quot;]I don&#039;t think you can tell from those photos for sure but just a guess would be it just sast somewhere for a long time. I&#039;ve got 26 rolls of these 43 cents and most look somewhat like that. They did have a nice luster back in 43. I was there and that was one of the reasons I started to collect them. Nice little shinny pennies I would say back then so my Dad went out and got me a lot of them.</p><p>Bronz is a mixture of Copper and other metals but usually Zinc or Tin. Other metals are occatioinaly mixed in for different appearances and hardnesses. Stell is always harder that Bronz regardless of which type of steel you are referring to. </p><p>Steel, like Bronz, is a mixture of metals, however, instead of the prime metal being Copper, with steel the prime metal is Iron.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
