Nordle11 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 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. Quote

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 Quote
Nordle11 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 This one is pretty streaky!! Both sides too.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1920-Great-Britain-United-Kingdom-Penny-Graded-by-NGC-as-MS-62-BN-/321990656555?hash=item4af823822b:g:YlgAAOSwpzdWqG1f Quote
PWA 1967 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 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. Quote
Nordle11 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 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. 1 Quote
Nutsaboutcoins Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 When the "stripes" appear on both faces, do the stripes run in the same direction? Quote

A clear stripe on this 1904 penny Quote

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. Quote
mrbadexample Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) A similar one from 1918. I still can't find the others. Edited February 3, 2016 by mrbadexample Quote
mrbadexample Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 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: Quote

mrbadexample Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Can anyone tell me what's happened to this? Quote
Nordle11 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 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! 2 Quote

bhx7 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 Here is one I recently bought. Again decimal but a nice error, at least I think so. 2 Quote

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

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. Quote

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