Would this 1980 P be considered a Woody.

Yes it is

 

Yes and it’s a very nice one.

 

Yes, I would consider your coin to have woodgrain toning. There are several types of "woody" coins. A woody falls under the planchet error coin with the specific name of Improper Alloy Mix. Planchet errors are never identical, it would be impossible to find two that are exactly alike.

Very nice!!!

 

Not from Toy Story, but certainly a Woodie. LOL

 

Lol!!

 

100% NOT a woodie.

These are roller marks from dirty rollers that squeezes the planchet metal to its desired thickness. There are a bunch of these on 1980 cents.

 

Looks pretty darn good to me! imo

 

Well, then you don't understand what makes a coin a woodie nor know how they differ from roller marks.

 

I did not make the decision that is a “woody”. Other known members did. It is an attractive cent no matter the markings.

 

ahhhh. gotcha. I apologize. I misinterpreted your comment.

 

Read this thread,it's really informative https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=301075

 

From an awesome resource on Mint errors; this from the 3rd edition of my soon-to-be-released book, Mint Errors to Die For.

 

Still a mint error I assume since it happened at the Mint? Just curious.

 

I come across these quite frequently, like on average 2-5 times per year. Next time I get one, I'm going to see if the marks come off with alcohol swab or similar.

 

here's a little food for thought . I see that the roller marks on the planchet showed up in the strike, especially in Lincoln's hair .

I'm not seeing that in the OP coin ?

 

I can try mine. Not selling it or anything or maybe if Jeffrey above wants to do his. I have two so I may do that.
