John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/04/2014 05:01 am I wonder what changed in 1998? The weights are within tolarence. I have found a few of the brass plated cents. The only easy way I know of to tell a brass plate is to find one in a BU roll. The ones I found are not from BU rolls but I kept them because they look yellow. I am guessing they are brass plate and not toned in some way. John1 Edited by John1 08/04/2014 05:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/04/2014 10:24 am The brass plating is caused by zinc planchets left in the copper electroplating bath and dissolving over time. The weight is indistinguishable from a normal Zincoln and the only way to determine with 100% accuracy is an XRF test to analyze the plating composition. However, when you see an example that is really yellow and still has nice luster such as the one posted here, it is most likely a brass plated specimen. Report this Post to the Staff
