<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MontCollector, post: 4017306, member: 85496&quot;]Let&#039;s see if I can clear this up for ya.</p><p><br /></p><p>A woody occurs when the different metals in the coin are improperly mixed during the melting process.&nbsp; There are several ways this can happen I believe. One is if there is not enough heat and movement during the melting/combining process.</p><p><br /></p><p>What a woody coin will eventually look like depends on it&#039;s environment and how the different metals tone in that environment over time. A woody does not need to be toned to be classified a woody. They are harder to spot but they are still woodies.</p><p><br /></p><p>The actual cause of a woody is NOT environmental it is a process error. Only the toning after the minting process is environmental just like with any other coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just because I really like this one here is a Canada Small Cent Woody from my collection.[ATTACH=full]1056399[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
