This is what I call a " woody " , a better example of the streaky planchet syndrome that I like to collect. A matched set like this could take a lifetime, if it even exists....not a great date, but a great " woody"
I have paid anywhere from 2-3 cents each to may more than I should have, it depends how bad you want it. This was in a 3lot for $7.00 total, I consider it a bargain.
No, YESTERDAY was what I was not sure of, it was this last weekend anyways: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230216584532&ssPageName=STRK:MEDW:IT&ih=013
1909 woody Here's a 1909-S of mine with some woodgrain effect. I guess, since it covers about half the coin, you'd call it a semi-woody.
OMG, I need to go rinse my eyes...Woody's, Semi Woody's....LOL Hmm I know I have ONE around here some where, i will have to try to find it and get back to you Regards, S
does this count as a woody? it also has cancer and that makes me sad. is there a way to get the green plague off this coin without destroying any collectable value it may have?
My oldman's 1909-1940 (complete, minus the 1922-p, it hadn't been ID'd when the folder was made back in the 50s) collection in a Whitman Trifolder. Lots of those have this sort of grain. I'll try to pull it out today. Ben
