1924 S LWC Improper Alloy Mix

So, in other words, 2% could be on one side only.



I agree 100% that this coin has seen environmental damage, but a coin can be a woody and have PMD.
And the environmental damage reinforces my point about corrosion having the potential to cause the surface of a coin with improperly mixed metals to corrode unevenly and produce an uneven surface since the different metals would corrode at different rates when exposed to the same environment.

An XRF test on the different color metals of the obverse is probably the only way to tell if this coin is improperly mixed.

IMHO, the obverse has the appearance of a woody with PMD. Not as attractive or as much contrast as most woodies.

Anyways, to these eyes, it looks like it could be a woody.

Thanks everyone for sharing the insights here

Basic an wood coin will not have the lines rised, Only some money maker will say could be.

In fact, and it is the production,, the woody it is come from partial mixt alloy. Then will be rolled same that it is the dimensions of the planchet (blanks). Somes come with the theory the coudl oxide and rise the borders. In fact was no proof for this. Theories are all around but not facts proofs.

Me I srtate: this coin it is not legitim woody, and after so many theoremas I state (saw in the first) was done somewhere to simulate woody.
