stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 08:07 am Pulled these out of change over the course of last week. Was wondering how we are ending up with so many different colored Lincolns since going over to zinc. Is the mint using different washes? Don't know. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19937 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 3:13 pm Being 100% pure copper on the outside it's easy for them to change color. Also, the plating baths will dissolve some zinc leading to some other colors. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
