[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1276817, member: 30400"]It is really one of the most interesting woodies I have seen because it truly looks like old, weathered wood. Barn door wood, coarse and dried and soft, the kind that gives you splinters. Not sure I get the earlier pictures. The below one, for example. It appears the coin was conserved since then, perhaps with VerdiCare or something like it. I like the results, whatever it was. It is forgivable, I think, to have concluded there was environmental damage. The obverse rim at 7k looks like corrosion, but is perhaps related to the whole lamination thing. There is so much peeling going on...the coin is really a lovable wreck. Lance. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v672/buddah101/77ac448c.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]
