hullamania Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 3:53 pm Found this in an OBW shotgun roll. It weighs exactly 0.20 ounces, so I think it is not missing a clad layer. Could it be from the end of a blank roll? I am not an error collector, so please provide any information you can. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 4:02 pm No,this is most unlikely to be a woody. If the metal is consistently mixed prior to the rolling process it may have streaks when it is flattened into the sheets that the planchet is cut from. If you try a dip in pure acetone, no rubbing, followed by a good pure water rinse, followed by air drying it is likely that those streaks will disappear. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 5:53 pm Need the weight in grams. Adjust your scale to grams. Looks like a copper color from the image and the devices are weak. So I'm hoping for a lower weight like a missing clad? Report this Post to the Staff
hullamania Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 6:07 pm Looking around 4 grams. And the copper side is darker in hand. That sounds like missing clad. Even if it's not a woody, it looks pleasant. Not going to do anything with the markings. Report this Post to the Staff
hullamania Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 6:30 pm Should have said more than 4, but less than 5-my scale is not exactly precise. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 6:33 pm Then it sounds like a missing clad. The normal weight if 5.67 grams. Nice find. Edited by coop 09/30/2019 01:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 7:10 pm Hmm, 0.2 oz = 5.67 g. I'm thinking environmental/chemical exposure rather than a missing clad layer. However, the weight deserves more investigation (with one that is more precise).
