That's a good point also Nuts.

I also noticed that Peck mentions the same theory of brass shells at the start of his write up as well.

Looks uni-directional which to me would suggest it is part of the rolling process of the blanks or possibly some post strike treatment, but strange that it appears to be predominantly on one face only.

Ian..

I agree, this is a much later product of the Royal Mint

But I've seen similar on French 10 centimes and other bronze coins. When it occurs on US cents, they are referred to as woodies for wood grained toning

Not over the top for a scarcer date.

I can understand streaky lustre on some dates and the fact this has it on both sides.

It was more just showing on one side so much on the previous posts that seemed strange.

They are not the best looking coins.

No I wouldn't pay a lot for one, so not fussed in having one in high grade. There's also some sort of oil slick on the O in ONE.

If I'm honest I prefer the colour on the one I just bought to this higher grade one. It only cost me £1.45.

When the "stripes" appear on both faces, do the stripes run in the same direction?

Yes I believe they do, the eBay listing I put up earlier has the streaks running in the same direction.

Here are a few more examples from 1919 and 1921. One of the 1919 seem to have some of both sides.

I originally thought someone had tried to colour these but sure they are part of the same defect. Not quite as bitty more streaking!

I've had a couple of these too - 1920 and 1913. I've just been to look for them and they're not where I thought they were so I'm not sure what I've done with them. Mind you, my overspill pile needs a bit of sorting. :rolleyes:

A similar one from 1918. I still can't find the others. :(

This 1994 penny appears to be corroding from the inside. Not sure what might have caused it but I've dug up better than this:

Can anyone tell me what's happened to this?

If the part at the bottom is raised, it's a cud, otherwise possibly a lamination error.

I have absolutely no idea what happened to that 1 penny though, I can only guess at a lamination error. if it's genuine that is a stonker. Love the square parts on the obverse!

Here is one I recently bought. Again decimal but a nice error, at least I think so.

Yes, it's raised. Looks like a blob of solder. I've not heard the term "cud" before (cows notwithstanding), is it common? How does it happen?

I believe it to be genuine - I pulled it out of my change. Do I need to open the bidding? :lol:

Yes definitely a cud then, it's pretty common and can affect any coin. It's when part of the die breaks away and the metal flows directly into it when a coin gets struck. Usually on the rim of the die, otherwise it would normally be called a die chip.

Thanks. Is bhx7's 2p another example of a cud?

Hang on, I need two people interested to drive the price up, and Nordle's declared out. Anyone else? :D
