<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 2171271, member: 17261&quot;]These 80&#039;s woodies are fairly common, more so with the one-sided type. IMO, it is not caused by a poorly mixed alloy because the appearance is quite different from the wheat cent woodies. </p><p><br /></p><p>The theory I&#039;ve tossed about for years with these modern woodies is that the stripes are caused by impurities on the planchet sheet rollers which get pressed into the sheets before they cut them out. You can&#039;t see the stripes right after minting however those areas tone differently causing them to appear later in the coins life.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
