rim's Wow!!
This 1929 is one very nice.
Most take this year as a easy buy there only 1 like this! I tip my hat Rim's to you:thumb:!:kewl:

 

TY. I have done well for 1929. I am sure you cannot tell, but my avatar is a 1929. Maybe not my favorite, but it show up best in the small picture. And I have another.

 

Indian woody.

 

i don't see the wood.....

 

1920-S Hersey Brown woody

 

Red wood....my favorite kind!

 

Another show without any good slabs. I did see a 1941- 65 RB slab with a pretty nice woody in it. The guy wanted $30 for it because that was the price for a 65 RB. Not in my book. Still managed some woodies (the 39-S shows better in hand);

 

These two I like better. The 54- is even a proof.

 

Absolutly gorgeous RLM's. I wish I could find these wheat woodys. I normally just find the 70's thru 80's Woodys.

 

I spent a whole bunch of time searching through boxes of 2X2's. 99.9% of the go by real fast and I probably only keep <10% of the ones I even look closely at.

 

i do! i do! one sided with a magenta reverse. 63 D found in an unc roll.

 

Got this one last night on EBay in a last minute bidding fight with another bidder. How much would you pay for this one?

 

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does ATS stand for?

 

Well the attraction to woodies is there beautiful coins. Just like toned coins they are purely a collection for the collector. A woody is a coin that the alloys did not mix correctly and so they tone like wood grain hense the term Woody. The people to ask about woodies are RLM's and BadThad. These two can answer your questions better than anyone I know.

 

Maybe most questions, but not that one. It is just like collecting anything - some do and some don't. If everyone liked what I did, I could not afford them, but barbers, Morgans, standing liberties, etc. would be dirt cheap.

 

do these woodys come out of this press looking this way? i mean, did the 63 i posted above go into the bag/roll looking like that or does the bad mix tone them that way after a few decades?

 

My opinion, no. Doug's opinion, yes.
