<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 1318692, member: 7957"]No too good. The large cents are made of pure copper. It is a bit hard to get pure copper improperly mixed. Having said that, it was also 1830's refining so "pure" to them may not be "pure" by today's standards. What does the other side look like? I would probably conclude that a normal reverse would mean the stripes are environmental. However, if there are corresponding stripes on the reverse (no matter how weak), it has got to be a woody.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
