Can I see some of these? I want to see the struck coins. Either slabbed or raw. Better, I guess, if slabbed, as they're attributed as such. But either way will work. I want a sampling of the different looks. Some of these I've come across are "partial-missing" and some are "total-missing." Some are only on one side, some are on both sides. There's a method to this madness. Let's get some of these going on here and I'll get into that. Just trust me I will, as I'm an honest horse. Or at least as far as horses go, most horses say I am.
Paddy, excellent! I'm interested in how the clad "lays" on these "partial-clads." On these ones you're showing from your collection the clad layers are distinct, or the borders where the copper meets the clad are well-defined and very sharp. Have you any in your collection where the copper is "patchy," or scattered through the surface? I've seen that and I'm not understanding how it can happen off a rolled-clad sheet. I can understand the copper showing where the clad leaves off on the sheet, as in your examples. Do you see how, in this example, there's clad showing in between the copper? These are the ones that are puzzling to me. I'm wondering just how they happen off a rolled-clad sheet, how the clad manages to get in between there...
