Washed with mild soap and water thinking it's just corroding.I placed it along side a different 2000 D penny and this is the pictures.Is there a reason for this? Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 05/07/2021 09:10 am Sometimes a zinc blank or three will get melted into the copper used for plating those zinc blanks, making the copper a brass. Always a fun find though. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

Zinc plating is an art more than a science, there's a good bit of variation due to how the plating bath changes. Lincoln Cent Lover!
