coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/20/2022 4:57 pm They are surface on the coin. They will wear off in time. They appear after the BU look goes away. Unlike Woody coins, the don't wear off the coin as they are all the way through the planchet. On the rolling lines, they are just surface. Nothing to do with the mixture of the metal in the stock material. Woodys are the result of a poor mixture of the stock metals. Report this Post to the Staff
