[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 510334, member: 12965"]I think it occurred over time and they didn't look like that day-one, which goes along your line of thought Doug, that they looked right in the beginning and didn't have the streaks and peel look to them when struck. ;) The planchet was contaminated and electrolysis occurred from the disimilar metals and the weird streaks and orange peel effect occurred because of it. Ribbit :) Ps: In theory, the reason why the raised areas don't show it as well as the smooth areas is because when metal is bent, it strengthens the metal's surface.
