Thanks John - no I am not sure - that is why I placed Woody in quotes. I don't know what else to call it. If it is not an improper alloy mix, I don't know what it is! Any ideas on that?

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 06/01/2017 2:36 pm I believe it to be a straight-up woodie. Improper mix? Absolutely! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 7:44 pm It's definitely a Woody, from an improper alloy mix. It goes all the way through. You can see the lines match up on both sides. Nice coloring! Just like real wood. Even with the damage, I'd call it a keeper. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
