1955-S LHC 2-COLORS

This Lincoln is from a roll of 55-S LHC from CROCKER Bank, Sunnyvale, California.

My guess is, the alloy did not mix well?

Yes I agree with you. Improperly Mix Alloy. Nice looking coin.

 

Thank you.

There are another 14 from the roll that shows a progressive die deterioration on the reverse, left wheat ear. I will post it in the Roll Hunting section.

 

@alurid Isn't this what they call woodgrain or woody?

 

Very cool, and attractive as well.

 

Yes you are correct, they are called that. Especially when the stripes are numerous and close together. I would dare say that each one of these is unique to this category.

 

A great find! Very nice looking.

 

This is a rare toning pattern and color that I've pretty much only see in the 55-S's. I'm betting that color is even more greenish and brighter that your pictures show. I found 3 similar coins in all my years of collecting and only seen other members post 2 or 3 since I've been a member here. CONGRATS on the find!

 

Thank you for your input. I really appreciate all that is shared.

I learn more, and more, and more.

And every once in a awhile, it is my turn to be presented with a small treasure.
