Thanks aristarchus123 Dr. Don Quote:
It might but is below the surface. Very possible, but what I was referring to is the raised area that is visible. |

Joe, you can see the un-mixed brass in the streaking. I've heard that the mints actually smelted and produced their own stock plate, cut and upset the blanks etc., In the process of melting the mix, sometimes a chunk of scrap brass would be tossed in to the melting pot and not fully dissolved in the rest of the alloy so that when poured, extruded and cooled, the plate wouldn't form correctly. The cohesion would be less. Hence, why some woodies/lamination are so different.

Nice find. It's a very interesting one. Also has a Improper Alloy Mix error as well. The Improper Alloy Mix caused this Lamination to occur.
Errers and Varietys.

Thanks jbuck Crazyb0, that is interesting. It seems like some of the 1940 & 1941's have the same color and striations on them as well. Thanks David, I think you are right. |
