Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 11/16/2017 6:50 pm You do know that Brass is just one notch above Bronze on the metal alloy scale don't you? If there was a tinge of tin/zinc more (like a .02%)in the copper/tin, manganese/zinc mix of the 5% coating weight it would be yellowish in color. The Brass some refer to is a type/test coin, all brass, not a Zincoln composition. Very rare! Edited by Crazyb0 11/16/2017 6:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/16/2017 7:03 pm If your pic color is true then I would say it is not a brass plate. A brass plate is more yello in color then your coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
