I found this a while back while CRH. I wanted to know if this is considered a Woody. The difference in color between obverse and reverse is very, very close to how it looks in hand. Thank You for looking.   |

The lines on your coin are called roller lines. Thought to be caused by Dirty rollers on the Rolling Mill

The appearance of a true woodie is due to an impure alloy mix and has nothing to do with the rollers.

Roller lines are caused by a machine. A "woody" is caused by improper mixing of the copper/tin,zinc alloy.

Well, roller lines are strait like your picture shows and a "woodie" has random lines through it - That's as much as I can explain it.

Thanks Mark! I think I got it, The lines on a Woody are not so uniform or A-symmetrical as those caused by a roller machine.
