    This was posted as a Large Cent question, so those acquainted with woody's may have overlooked it. Could this be an early woody?

    Call it whatever you want.... I think it is a combination of an improper planchet mix, followed by and corrosion which brought it out, followed by a cleaning which lightened the surfaces.

    The angle of the graining from obverse to reverse are consistent with a woody.

    Thanks for the comments everyone and a thanks to Marshall for asking some advice from the woody experts.

    I am still learning early coppers but liked the look of this one and while the woody aspect wasn't the look I was seeking it sure had the possibilities of a woody.

    I'm not sure if there was/is corrosion present but I can't say I see any from the photos myself.
