Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 02/02/2018 6:26 pm Yeah, I agree. Woodies are a bad alloy mix and (I may be wrong) would involve both sides of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/02/2018 6:56 pm A Woody can be one-sided. Here's a dime with suspected roller lines posted by Mike Diamond. Here's a nice traditional Woody. Here's a comparison of the two. Here's a horse, or is it a frog? Edited by CoinMasters 02/02/2018 7:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 02/02/2018 7:09 pm You guys are beating a dead horse! The official cause of woody's (new or old) is unknown, although there is evidence that an improper alloy mix between the copper and zinc causes the metals to tone differently. Being that their collectibility is limited to woody enthusiasts and MIGHT carry a premium in higher graded red brown examples, let's just say that if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck......it's a duck, or woody in this case.

JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 02/02/2018 7:19 pm However.....I would love to hear how the term "rolling lines" came to be. Because if they were caused by grease on rollers then wouldn't the lines be limited to one side of the coin? The side that was touching the rollers? Not to mention the extreme heat generated during the striking process would almost certainly get rid of them. Just my Two Cents. Report this Post to the Staff
JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 02/02/2018 7:24 pm Never mind, you're referring to the rollers that flatten the planchet materiel to the desired thickness before be punched out. Report this Post to the Staff
