I just made this so people can click on the web address. Haven't read it yet.
Well, okay, I read it. I probably didn't understand it but it sounds like a pretty temporary situation so you'd better sell fast! Gee, I wonder if my husband could be convinced to sell all his "possibly" valuable pennies he's had for forty years?

...but isn't brass made mostly of copper (and nickel silver)?

There are many types of brass, but it's basically about 60% copper and 40% zinc. Naval Brass is 60% Cu, 39% Zn, .075% Sn (the other.025% is a mystery).
