Blackhawk Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 This Canadian cent planchet is streaked because of improper mixing of the metals. The reverse looks like it's about half brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Definately one of the more extreme examples I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Nice cent. I like the ones with the wood-grain effect. This is the most dramatic that I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vielwerth Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 It looks strange, or I'm wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 It looks strange, or I'm wrong? Yes the metal was not correctly mixed resulting in the dual colour of the coin. Actually this is not too uncommon and I have 1940's era US cents with the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
