<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2714059, member: 112&quot;]For years now the mint has received round blanks. Can&#039;t recall for how many but seems like it&#039;s been quite a few.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>From what I&#039;ve seen it was always done with a forklift. And once it started to elongate and get thing enough, it was rolled into a roll as it came out of the rollers. But that may have only been a video from 1 plant. Like I said, I grant there there are several ways it could be done.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We&#039;re in agreement. The streaks of genuine woodies are caused by improper allow mix, and as the coin strip is made the different colored metal gets stretched and pulled in all directions, up, down, and sideways. All of that is a given.</p><p><br /></p><p>The questions, the only ones we should be discussing here really are things you pointed out by posting pics of what you did. That being that acid eats away the alloy impurity (the thing that causes the dark streaks) faster than it does the copper. That is a given as well. And that&#039;s why the coin you showed pics of looks like it does. I&#039;ve never seen pics of one where somebody did that by the way. But I certainly understand how and why it happened.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next question, was the guy who did that, used the acid on that coin, a nutcase, or was he somebody like me trying to find out if the coin was a genuine woodie or not ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Last question, is the coin I posted pics of a genuine woodie ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
