    Hi everyone. I found this woodgrain toned wheat penny from 1918. I would really like to know the value. Here are some pictures of it. Thanks in advance.

    There's damage at the shoulder. Planchet flaw or corrosion or some sort of circulation damage (PMD). It's very worn, not particularly attractive (don't be offended), and there's a prominent gouge on the reverse at 1k.

    I would guess between 75c and $2.

    yeah I wouldnt say it was worth much due to the condition (use the search function and look for "Got woodies" or something to that affect) and you will see some really nice wood grain cents.

    I would still keep that since I collect woodies. Thanks for sharing!

    I would say if someone offered you a buck for it, you should take it. That graining typically adds little to the value and more often deducts from the value. See http://www.cointalk.com/t65353/. However, you might get someone interested in that lamination.
