moose59 Pillar of the Community United States 732 Posts	Posted 06/29/2021 10:24 am Doing a penny box hunt I came across several coins that were More Brassy in color than normal. I am wondering if there is something going on or this is just a mix problem. Maybe these pic's don't relay the true color but it is definitely more yellow than normal. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 06/29/2021 10:45 am Zinc blanks are sometimes accidentally dissolved into the copper bath used to plate them. This results in subsequent blanks being plated with brass (copper and zinc) instead of pure copper.
