A Coin with Stripes ?

I know that i am very new at coin collecting, so how come i have not heard of " Lincoln Stripes". Everybody can see the STRIPES ,....right ? I am very curios as to what is the cause, thank you

It's called a woodie. A type of tone from the medals not mixed correctly . Some pay a small premium for these depending on how nice they look.

 

Thank you , I never would have guessed that . oh bye the way I am ... Cynde wife of Don

 

The proper term is Improper Alloy Mix
I want to share this webpage with you - http://www.error-ref.com/improper-alloy-mix/

 

Another bit of sage advice from the meat man! I thought a woodie was something else entirely...

 

Yes it is....... as a water fowler years ago a woodie was slang for a Wood Duck.

 

Paddy, I'll have to show you the carving I have...the guy that did it won several carving competitions and died shortly after he did mine.

 

Please stay at least 100 yards away from me at coin shows!
Don't want any of that sort of mojo rubbing off
