Spence Moderator United States 34450 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 3:46 pm Yes exactly--an area of delamination. Still has some silver in it though!

Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 4:35 pm Excellent example of a Lamination. Very Cool and worthy of a 2x2. Report this Post to the Staff
EricH Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 4:39 pm Oh cool is it a woody to?@makecents Still looking forward to the coins they haven't arrived yet I think they'll be here tomorrow. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8833 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 4:47 pm Typically, woodys are related to copper coins but occasionally I will see what I still consider a woody in a different metal composition like this one. As for your package, my tracking is not working but not unusual for the Post Office now, they have not been on their A game for a couple of years.... Please let me know that you have received it though. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
