"Brass" is just one step up from the "bronze" alloy as used in the plating process, more zinc/tin. Also storage/toning may affect color. This is seen on the early years of stinkin zinkins most often.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/20/2017 6:32 pm The ones Ken are selling are slabbed. It is very hard to know the ones found CRHing are lagit or just toning. If you find one in an OWBR then you know you have a legit one. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
