All of the above display irregularities in the mixtures of copper, tin and zinc. Some folks give these a premium, some avoid them. Hope this helps you better identify &quot;woodies&quot; et al. Your coin in the OP is really unusual, if it is an alloy issue. Usually (though not always) both sides of the coin are affected.</p><p>Gary in Washington[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
