matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 5:23 pm upstate - the color on your nickel is to die for! Imagine: an entire set in the same condition and color --- ARGH! For purely eye appeal, you have my vote. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 5:35 pm Please, a definition of the term: woodie. To me, it evokes a series of automobiles produced just before WWII. (Or was it just after?) Actual wood paneling on the exterior. Car polish AND Murphy's Oil Soap on a Saturday morning. This topic is going to turn out as a magnificent learning aid to all. Keep those picture coming, folks! Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 6:17 pm Quote: Please, a definition of the term: woodie. From our CCF Glossary (Left Navigation Panel) (Woodie is nickname for woodgrain). Quote: woodgrain Resulted from impurities in the alloy or concentrations of pure copper that did not properly blend with the 5% tin and zinc added to it. When these less than perfect ingots were rolled into strip, from which blanks would later be punched, the concentrations were flattened and stretched into the patterns seen on the finished coins. Invisible when first struck, these flaws appeared only after the coin was exposed to atmospheric agents that caused the copper concentrations to tone more quickly than the properly mixed portions of the planchet. This term is usually used for copper coins when a noticeable "grain" to the metal is visible, like on the center portion of Paleoguy45's V (for Very Nice) Nickel!

smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 11:00 pm OK< the whole buying a house thing along with work etc really takes up time. So here is everything I failed to post up until now. A nice 83 no cent.. Regular 83 with a bit of use... 83 with a lamination I think on the obverse. Open to opinions... 84 with wicked die cracks on obverse and one on rev... 86 with an awesome rev... 87... 89... 90... So now I am all caught up. Report this Post to the Staff

paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 10/11/2012 07:57 am First off the tee with today's Veeeeeeee... 1891 Liberty (V) Nickel: The pricey lady arrived yesterday from across the pond. She's had a light cleaning, but it's hard to find this key in a VF these days without some type of issue. I give her a solid VF-25 and keep her: Edited by paleoguy45 10/11/2012 09:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
