1910 Wheatie VDI

Found this 1910 wheatie today with the MXT Pro. Does anyone know if these are copper or brass. Vdi shows 50 - 52? Not like normal copper wheatie.

Looked green like an Indian head cent.

I have noticed this as well on the early wheats, I double checked a real dirty wheat yesterday thinking that it was an Indian, But there was Lincoln, 1919. vdi 52. On my V3i. I assumed that my ground balance had drifted. I re-balanced and continued on. Didn't think to re-check it.

They tend to read lower when they have heavy corrosion or patina on them.

Ahh well it makes sense cause it was definitely corroded.
