is brass a precious metal

Gold, definitely.

How about fixing this question as to what type of "brass"

There is Yellow brass 60% Copper 40% Zinc and the more common red brass 85% copper and 15% Zinc then there is Muntz metal and Bronze thus

BRASS = COPPER as there is NO gold content in "Brass"

Brass is a nonferrous metal. No iron is present in it.

depending on grade of brass you should be able to get $1 to $3 per pound of brass. To stay on top of current pricing for various grades of brass go to www.scrapmetalpricesandauctions.com

brass is 80 to 90 percent copper and 10 to 20 percent zinc.why is brass worth less than both metals required to make it?
