Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 12/12/2015 7:41 pm I just searched through most of my wheats and pulled out 17 woodies, of which the top 8 are pictured. I'm not sure that the 1925 really counts as a woody, but it does have a nice big band of lighter metal. For the best coins, I added a close up to show the texture. Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 12/14/2015 8:08 pm Thanks. To find just 17 woodies, I had to go through enough wheats to fill a $25 canvas quarter bag about 3/5 of the way. Report this Post to the Staff

Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 11:34 pm UK Half Penny 1921 The pattern seems to be caused by differences in the metal. My guess is there was some brass or bronze alloy problems. And it caused lamination issues as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 01/05/2016 01:01 am Yes, the 'wood grain' pattern is caused when copper and other metals don't fully mix. Then when the metal is rolled into sheets, the areas of more brassy metal get stretched long and thin, causing the striations. That's an amazing half penny! Report this Post to the Staff
Hello There Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 01/05/2016 01:02 am Do both sides have to have the design to be considered woody or is one side is enough? Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 01/05/2016 01:04 am I think it can be on just one, but correct if I'm wrong. Either way, Chute's coin is very impressive. It does have a bit at around 5 o'clock on the obverse, though. Edited by Numisma 01/05/2016 01:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
