The Mysterious Case of the Wanabe Woodie. Yes, it would be smooth…the alloy is finished on the woodie. This is rough and striated = lamination...
It is a thin coin, no zinc is showing. The crater next to the last A/AMERICA is deeper than 8 microns, but still no zinc showing.
..so this is a lamination error, not a woodie?
@Spacecoins …a basic rule: when you change coins, start a new thread. The reason is: members see this post as “error pennies”. People who will...

I have an aversion to damaged coins. I would not bid on it.
The coin is beyond redemption. Spend it.

Still a Red, has wear on both sides…more AU53, but definitely not higher than AU55…a real nice keeper for 58 yo…Spark
There is wear in several places on both sides. Lips, nose and chin and leaves behind the ear. Eagles’ breast, talons, tops of legs and arrows....
You need some kind of secure climate control scheme. Also, if you move or handle the rolls frequently the coins will rub together and you will...
