John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/01/2024 04:03 am lenny, You have too many different coins in one thread,I am confused. The 1998's the left one just looks toned. The next two photos must be 1982? Your question please. The following photo,1987...question? The last three photos ? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97728 Posts	Posted 04/01/2024 08:41 am Please separate these coins - you have full coin images on 2 different 1998, but closeups of a 1982 and another of 1987. What point are you trying to make with the close up images? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 04/01/2024 08:52 am Thanks for sharing your coins but take the advise from above. Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4594 Posts	Posted 04/01/2024 08:58 am In mid-year 1982, the composition of the cent shifted from a copper-zinc alloy (weight 3.11g) to copper-plated zinc (weight 2.5g). If the plating bath isn't changed frequently enough, the solution gets zinc poisoning and will have a brassier coloration. It's just a meaningless variation in the manufacturing process. You certainly could brass plate a cent, but why would you? -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/01/2024 3:15 pm https://koinpro.tripod.com/Brass.htm I remember reading this. As for the other coins in your posts, The answer hasn't changed since the first time, damage. Report this Post to the Staff
lenny Valued Member Canada 60 Posts	Posted 04/07/2024 10:30 am I realize these coins are damaged, the difference in the surface finish compared to hundreds of other same year coins on my table made me think they were an error planchet. I see how the contaminated bath makes them brass and it is common. However, if I see the link John gave us correctly, these coins are an error..? Report this Post to the Staff
