Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/25/2017 1:46 pm Thanks Bio, I was trying to think of a way to express it, that a "true" woodie doesn't necessarily have to show through the planchet. So then it is the brass that doesn't completely mix and just "adheres" prior to the annealing process? Not clear in my two-bit brain on this, trying to get the "process" down right. Maybe for those building a "woodie" set, there should start a swap thread? That way those of us LWC freaks could help those folks reach their goals? Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/25/2017 3:58 pm Woodies can absolutely be one-sided. A fair percentage of the examples I turn down are for that reason; my Canadian LC Woodie group in MS would be double the size if I accepted one-sided coins. Report this Post to the Staff
