Got Wood?

I like that 1873. However, the other 2 are hardly viewable even when you click on them. The pix are still too small.

I still can't get them to upload bigger, but at least now when you click on them they show bigger. This is really weird, I've never had these problems before today.

 

Still not as big as the 73, but at least not I can see them. Nice looking Indians.

 

Very nice Indians as usual Charmy!

 

Does this wood effect only occur on these metals being when incorrectly blended or do other metals in alloy display similar or unique features if incorrectly blended? Are there any examples of such effect in non copper coins?

 

I have never seen nor heard of other compositions having that effect, but there are a lot of other compositions in use today.

 

thanks rlm. that's what I was wondering about. just pondering about how many different alloy types there are these days and if production errs will eventually occur and expose new versions of this genre.

 

My only woodie....

 

A very nice one at that! I really like the "plain" 1909's!

 

Some more wood:

 

Here's my new woodie! (I also posted this on my MS65 BN thread but it fits better here!)

 

Here is one that I photographed for a CU member, it is the only SLQ I have seen with wood.

 

Oh yea! Your coins never fail to amaze me! :kewl:

 

Interesting, I've got 3 Lincolns with this same pattern, all from Denver.

 

Where did you find them? Those later dates are difficult to find.

 

WOW!!!! that 1917 SLQ is amazing.. Really like that.... I have never seen one with wood like that on a SLQ either...

 

I really like it too, if the owner ever sells it I hope I am on the short list to buy it from him.

 

This is absolutely the most defined woodgrain I've ever seen on a modern. I do a lot of roll searching and I found this one tonight....I've never seen anything like it.

 

Nice finds, moderns are pretty tough to find with woodgrain.

 

I don't go through rolls looking for them, but you are right. That is about as much graining as I have seen on the moderns.
