Harry213 Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 11/25/2016 10:15 pm Zinc Memorial Cents Do Not have, nor have they ever had, a Zinc coating. They have a micro thin copper coating. Zinc is a shiny white metal that turns black when oxidized. Copper is a bright red metal that turns brown then green when oxidized. You are looking at 2 completely normal looking cents.

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/26/2016 7:40 pm We see this question frequently on toned coins of one type or another. With that many folks asking, it can't be classified as a dumb question. Report this Post to the Staff
