I had a 1909-S V.B.D. woodie, but had no idea why it was streaky, so i sold it a few months back, wish i could get it back! Might have to see if i can track it down... It was ANACS slabbed at AU-58 i believe.
I need to get a good pic of this one. It is gorgeous! Looks like a fine piece of mohagany (sp?) furniture! It doesn't have the 'streaks' that I see posted here. I think of this mix of red/brown, almost like wood stain, as wood-tone.
This isn't mine but its a first! Matte Proof Woodie! http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1151&LotIdNo=196070
Do I have wood? I busted out the Canadian large cents and noticed that I have this one. Is this considered a woody? I read the entire thread but I still can't tell if this is considered one. Thanks!
This is the first I have ever heard of a woody. When I first got the lot of canadian cents, I thought it had something to do with an album or possibly a wiping. There were more like this. Good to know now, thank you! Now it's just another thing I have to keep an eye out for!
That what i was thinking any woodies i've seen at auction seem to either be under graded or people assume they are over graded and bid accordingly...
This is your lucky day. Now you have a chance to see 2 of them in one day. http://cgi.ebay.com/1913-Matte-Proo...92?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item1e601ce464
Woody or Not a Woody? I received this horrible looking 1973 LMC in change today. I'm curious if the horizontal lines on the obverse are just PMD or if this constitues a woody?
