A "crockard" or "pollard", then? I just read about those for the first time in @TheRed's recent Featured post, which is at the top of the...
I need to get me a Stevex6 coin.
Yep. A "woody" indeed, from the same thing that causes that effect on cents. (Improper alloy mix, as mentioned by @ken454.) Neat find! No,...
