I have wood!


But seriously, is this real wood and is wood worth a premium?

 

Sorry, but in most cases they are actually discounted. Many actually consider it a flaw. Not I!

 

Yep, that's wood!

I've bought and sold many woodies at a premium. It's all in the eyes of the beholder!

 

I cannot say I have sold many, but I certainly have bought many. Some I have paid a premium for, but the vast majority were discounted. You are 100% correct with "It's all in the eyes of the beholder".

 

Got this one in the mail today

 

I picked this up yesterday.

 

Very nice!

 

Red wood! SWEET COIN!!

 

One more MPL.

 

oooo...lala!

 

How many do you think you might find 1000 ? That's $10. Not a lot of investment potential in that. I would toss them in a jar or flips or whatever and drink water one day at lunch instead of a soda to pay for them.

A good friend has 1400 cent varieties in his collection, Some are discoveries he made. He values the collection at $14, because thy all came from circulation or swaps for coins that did.

But the woodys don't seem to be something to pay a lot of money for, as there's not a great resale market right now. Save these, because you like them. IMHO

pair of light woody's

Picked these up today. The 1919 isn't real visible face on so I tried to get it at an angle. I gave $1 for the 1923.

 

Woodsy like?
What grade does this look like?

 

I am not sure if this is toned or wood, so I will post it in both. It does not show well (pictures or in hand), but there is some very light grain on the reverse also. BTW, I had trouble affording this one. It cost a whole 99¢ shipping included.

 

Interesting coin, not sure I've ever seen one like that.

 

Hello. It was a nice trip to the shop today. Found this Lincoln buried in a binder.

Thanks for looking!

My apologies for the blurry obverse.

I wonder if mine's related:

BadThad's is on page 31 post 452 for those who want to see his coin.

 

Got this today.
