<p>[QUOTE="ndgoflo, post: 110185, member: 367"]Here is one theory, (I have a few cents similar to the coin in question). I believe they are "brass plated". Post 1982 cents are made of zinc, and then plated in a bath of copper. When/if some of the zinc planchets get "lost" in the bath, they slowly dissolve and the additional zinc turns the bath of copper to brass.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
