Is there anything to that or are they equally likely from all mints?   02-06-2008, 01:30 AM   #22 (permalink) Arizona Jack The Lincoln-ator     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Dry Heat USA Posts: 6,781 My Mood: All early Lincolns are prone to it, I don't think it has a favorite mint...

Happy Friday everyone! WOW !!!! What a find, I have not seen ANY that late, but I have not looked either. Way cool that you were able to find them !! I have to wonder if those aren't roller marks of some sort rather than planchet metal graininess, but neat none the less. __________________ W.I.N.S / ANA / SLCC / Mesa Coin Club I am a poker player ..."thats beyond trailer trash" Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, 4/09 Hot Sauce Fanatic !!!   03-19-2008, 12:42 AM   #25 (permalink) JD White MTTs - gotta love 'em     Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: NE Arizona Posts: 80 It took me a while to find where I had a few of these stored. They were hiding in an old Japanese Akadama wine bottle from my military days that was used to store change. This bottle was used in the late 60s, through the 70s and into the 80s, and there were 41 of these "woodies" in it. Attached Images      __________________ Have you taken a look at these?

As stated above, the wood grain is caused by improper mixing of the coin alloy. It runs completely through the coin. i.e. same place and direction on both sides of the coin. There can be no wood graining on the zinc core coins. They are coated with pure copper not an alloy (a mixture of metals). You can see more discussion in this thread. http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.p...ood+grain+1918   03-20-2008, 09:28 PM   #29 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 24,644 Quote: Originally Posted by rlm's cents There can be no wood graining on the zinc core coins. They are coated with pure copper not an alloy (a mixture of metals). True, but that one isn't - it's a copper cent. Even so, given the reverse I don't think this coin would qualify. It's probably just weird toning or somebody messed with it. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   03-20-2008, 10:05 PM   #30 (permalink) rlm's cents Numismatist     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 6,868 My Mood: I was not referring to that particular coin, but at least one of the earlier coins.   Page 2 of 3 < 1 2 3 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
