1997 yellow!!!? superb example. MS.
the only spot is on the rev where the strike was not great on the "of". I've seen this on lots of cents. Can anyone make any sense out of this cent being yellow?

1997 yellow!!!? Can anyone make any sense out of this cent being yellow? Mixed alloy. Zinc-core cents melted down & re-formed into plating ... or was it military shell casings? I don't remember the exact answer, but I *do* remember the question, as I have quite a few examples & saw this post ... maybe 3 years ago? ... I think Phil might remember .... 8-] Coin Saver |

Thanks Ken,
This one is the color of a lemon. I have seen some pinkish-orange colored ones too. Those look like they do have an extra coating, wrinkled paint? The yellow one is superb. Don't think it has brass tho. Thanks again.

The dog peed on it. If they're from Denver, do we say the "dog Deed on it"? Crass, I know; and not as funny as "You Are An Idiot", "We Like The Moon", or "CoinBird"; but it was the best I could come up with ... 8-P Coin Saver |
