Not the same as clad of two different metals.</p><p>However 2% Zinc is NOT going to kill the going cost of a brick of copper/brass... It's pure enough to do quality plating which is one of the reasons I horde pre 82's. Been meaning to use these pennies for bullets! Either by swaging or plating lead cast bullets that I already make. But you didn't hear that from me!</p><p> </p><p>BTW: Add a little more Zinc to your molten pre 82's, and you could have bricks of quality Brass! Add a little Tin and you have bricks of quality bronze![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
