Ed, here is another coin with the same "stuff".

It looks like it has something inside the "D".

Regarding the variety - it's not 1956D-1OM-002. It could be something else, but it's not the one you think it is. I've found a couple dozen of those in my life,a nd this just ain't it. Sorry.

As to the streaks on the coins, they are consistent with planchet striping. Although very odd for all your coins to have them, I don't see much of a realistic way they could have been 'faked' in such a manner.

BTW, I have found a number of streaked planchet cents from the 1977-1981 era.

Hi Chuck! thanks for the comments. Yes I agree that the streaking is not "in the mix". I have since found that they, (about ten rolls) were placed in plastic tubes, a long time ago, and some oily stuff was in there, too. I ended up having to actually cut the coins out. Not one came out without being forced out. The streaking ibelieve is the redult of the oisition of the "Flow-down", thru the coins. I have run into several of the coins with "something on the east side of the curve, and have tried to get a good picture, to show ift as somethng new, abd not debris. I can't explain, and I also agree it is not the1956D-1OM-002. These coins all show very litt wear, if any, with a few exceptions that have been added to the batch. Most have only bag marks. I have one more, that I want to show, and a differen setup to take pictures, so that "maybe{ there will be a little better focus. It that fon't work, the whole batch will be bullion! Thanks to all who have been so patient!

Since all the oily coins in those rolls were streaked makes me think someone had put something on them to "improve" them, maybe a wipe with a rag was how they applied it and the streaks are rag marks. Whatever it was stayed oily for years.

It does have the right colors for woodgrain, since all the coins have it and were all oily and stuck in tubes makes me think it's not woodgrain. Only other possibility is someone sorted them because they were woodgrain then oiled the batch. I hate getting rolls that had "something" done to them. It's like CSI trying to figure out what it was LOL

I've seen rolls of oily coins without streaks that alcohol cleaned up well.

It's not 1OM-002 but could be an RPM, I can't tell from the pics.
