Just pulled this CRH. Interestingly the marks are more visible in the lusterless areas.

That's a nice one and not uncommon. I only keep them when there are really good lines on both sides. John1  |

 . Nice. Ever notice about the conditions of Woodies? Seems they're in better condition without so many nicks n scratches. Just seems that way to me.  |

Nice find! I like the 80's roller lines, they are typically purple and stand out well on the nice copper background.

Ever notice about the conditions of Woodies? These are not actually woodies. A woodie is caused by an improper alloy mix ( http://www.error-ref.com/poorly_mixed_alloy/). I could not find anything on Error-Ref but it has been explained to me that it's caused by contaminates on the rollers that are left on the sheets before the planchets are cut out. If I am off here, I'm sure some more knowledgeable folks will help out. -makecents-

Note on the tops of the devices these lines wear off the coin. So they are topical, not into the planchet like the woody coins as they were from a poor metal mixture. They remain as the devices wear down. These wear off, so they are not the same thing as a woody. They show up after the BU appears goes away. they are soon removed off the coins and go away totally as the coin is circulated.   |

So. Ever notice that roller coins seam not to have many nicks n scratches Like Coop's infographic describes, the roller lines wear off during circulation. So, the more nicks n scratches, the less roller lines you'll see. Interesting that its loss of luster that really brings these lines out though. A little circulation helps but alot doesn't it would seem. |

Early 80s had a lot of roller lines. I love true woodies, but I have a problem seeing past the grain to get a good grade on them.
