Nothing special, but I like the way the "wood" is

"1 WOODY IS BETTER THAN NO WOODY"! Hip Hip Huray! Take that to the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BANK!

 

Yea it is, you don't see memorial cent red wood very often....it's pretty rare actually.

 

Really? Why is that? I would think that any cent pre-82 would be susceptible to it.

 

Susceptible, yes, but with 100+ years of experience they kept getting better at mixing the alloy. Therefore, the later ones are rarer.

 

Because most of the planchet alloy problems were solved long before the memorial cent was issued. Think about it...how many red, woody memorial cents have you ever seen? For me, this is only like the 3rd one. I've seen quite a few 80 and 81's in brown but not red.

 

Thanks, I didn't know. I hardly look for woodies, red, brown, or otherwise. So I'm not into keeping track of the ones I've seen or not seen. This one kind of struck me simply with the wide spaces between thin woodiness, and some having like doublets of it.

 

Got this one today

1920 Lincoln.

 

Here ya go! BTW, take a look at that strike! (When looking at the strike, bear in mind that it is a woody.)

 

I WANT THAT 16'! Cough up a Price! SSUUUUUUUUUUUUPER SSWWWWWWWWWEEEEETTT!

 

should i save any pennies that have a wood grain effect?

 

If you are doing it because you like their looks, by all means do so. If you are doing it to make money, you will probably be better off trying something else. Most will probably sell at a discount.

 

Has there been any Woody Proof posted???

 

I am pretty sure these has been, but I cannot find it now. I do know for a fact that there are MPL's that are woodies, but I have never seen one 1936 or later.

 

The grain is very weak on the reverse, but it is there.
