<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 996449, member: 112&quot;]Dick - if I understand you correctly you are saying that you can do the same thing I did with a genuine wood grained coin ? I disagree. That is because if there is an improper mix of the alloy - the cause of wood graning - then the improperly mixed areas have to have a different color from the properly mixed areas from day one. It can be no other way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes toning will cause those improperly mixed areas to show up more, but you can see them from the time the coin is minted.</p><p><br /></p><p>But go ahead, prove your theory - show me.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - either way, my contention is that you cannot have a coin with improperly mixed alloy where the improperly mixed areas are only on 1 side of the coin. It can&#039;t be. Well, I&#039;ll change that to tremendous odds that it won&#039;t be - like billions to one.</p><p><br /></p><p>But Thad says he finds these all the time - that throws the odds out the window and indicates these coins are not the result of an improper alloy mix.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
