A really nice 1935-S Buffalo. The pictures don't do it justice. Looks good from here. Very nice!  |

I sold some coins to a guy on craigslist today. I drove to his work. I was going to stop by the wells fargo on the way home and get a box but I never saw the bank. I missed it somehow. I'm just not meant to get another box yet.

My favorites are the pre-sixties that have almost a woodgrain look to them. I've kept every one that I've found. Might have to post some pics of my very favorite ones. love following this thread btw.

I know what you mean Jaymon. I found a great looking 1980-D but I can't seem to get a good enough picture to post. This is the first "wood grained" looking nickel I've seen. I have seen this effect in pennies but not nickels.

I'm not familiar with this wood grained appearance. What do you look for? Do you know when you see it type of thing? I can't really tell from the photos. Oh and do Canadian nickels have this effect? Though I do find a fair bit of US ones...

There was a thread here, a year or more ago. It had something to do with stirations. I remember because it got
me thinking of the different ways they occur. I've seen coins w/them both impurities & improper mix, to mechanical.

Is that from impurities? I think it's cool too though :)

I have no idea what causes this to happen. If I had to guess, I would say it's either impurities or improper mixing of metals.  |

No, not that one, but as to the Ike pictured here, this explanation was given on another forum"The striations are more than likely due to the planchet being cut from a portion of the copper-nickel strip which had to be pulled through a feeder of some type. Lots of copper-nickel coins have these striation"  |
