Post them here. I'm sure Cory865 won't mind. Right Cory865?
Ah, that would make sense. It does have that sort of color to it. I hadn't heard of brass planchets in that time frame.
Just out of curiosity now that I am thinking about it - how much you figure a brass cent would weigh? I assumed it would be about the same as bronze...

I'm sorry guys I thought I stated brass plated my mistake as I look back on my previous post and yes it only weighs 2.5 but it's still a cool looking coin
As a note on the Brass, all that is is a bit more zinc/tin in the copper alloy mix. Bronze is the normal plating, a .02% change will alter the color. They are NOT completely brass.
