chris86 Valued Member Canada 185 Posts	Posted 11/14/2011 7:56 pm I just picked up 5 rolls of pennies from the local bank and while there wasn't a whole lot of interesting coins in those rolls (2 1950's Canadian Cents), the most interesting one was a 1979-D Memorial cent struck through a streaky planchet. Not sure if there's any added value to this coin but it's pretty cool nevertheless. Edited by chris86 11/14/2011 8:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/14/2011 10:06 pm It's called a woodie and it is caused by an improperly mixed alloy. I think they do get sold from time to time but I don't think they are worth a lot. I keep all of the ones that I find. If you don't want it, keep to give to somebody who does or use it in a small trade. By the way, that's a pretty nice looking coin considering its age. Report this Post to the Staff

I've never seen one in circulation with streaks this defined. Made up for the lack of interesting coins in these 5 rolls. Report this Post to the Staff
