<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 3624195, member: 105098&quot;]A planchet making process error isn&#039;t the same as a minting error though. An improper alloy mix would be undetectable from planchet to planchet during the minting process and would show up much later as the coin tones. I&#039;m pretty confident the manufacturers could detect it nowadays with material testing advances, but years ago as long as the color was right and it assayed appropriately it wouldn&#039;t matter to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone interested in &quot;woodies&quot; might pay more for them for the uniqueness of the toning and it may generate more interest in an auction and more competition for it, but it&#039;s not really a &quot;minting error&quot; like a double die or off metal coin would be, more like unique toning, a coin with more personality than others of that year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
