<p>[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1161277, member: 30400"]They're not bronze and therefore don't get a color designation. Same for the early IHC's. The FE and the IHC 1859-1864 are 88% copper and 12% nickel (it was political). in 1864 the Mint changed metal content to bronze, 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. And yes, there are both types for 1864.</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
