CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 09/06/2021 10:51 pm This coin shows both improper alloy mix and lamination errors on both obverse and reverse. Not surprising, I guess, that both errors run the same direction. The obverse lam is small but you can see it on the coat running SW to rim.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8728 Posts	Posted 09/06/2021 11:13 pm Very cool find! You will find these two run in the same circles. Most lams will have some woody look to it but not all woodies have lams. Just depends on how bad the alloy mix was, I suppose. Both are due to this. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 09/07/2021 11:48 am Thanks for looking Ya'll! Thanks EScottCoins, funny you mention this because I just requested a new avatar last week. Yes, I did edit this one from a cent I had with colorful toning.

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 09/07/2021 1:12 pm Great find. I always have trouble determining if the "woody" texture is showing naturally or because the coin was cleaned in the past. The metal grains of copper look like scratches. Report this Post to the Staff
