Just found these in a large collection I purchased and am having trouble figuring out where the copper ends and the Zinc starts. Hahaha pretty bad. All the zinc ones have this pretty green toning

Wonder where they were stored. Must have been in a high humidity area.
In a box in the basement, most likely.

Don't forget to check them for possible doubled dies. If in doubt, take some fuzzy photos through a microscope and start a new thread for each one.
I was thinking the green ones would great in holders with true views.
HAPPY COLLECTING

Yikes! Whatever’s in that board is sure doing a number on them.
