<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1972779, member: 42773&quot;]Speaking of zinc, I bought this 1 ØRE, 1961, because the striated toning looked like the wood-grain effect you see on US cents sometimes, when the alloy hasn&#039;t been properly mixed. But all the information I could find is that these coins were minted of pure zinc, not an alloy. Perhaps there was uneven annealing? Or is it just surface toning that makes it look like a &quot;woody&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]350377[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350378[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have the coin yet, but it will be interesting to examine it in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
