    1st Cent on the upper left hand corner is a MAD - Misaligned Die

    Bottom Cent is a Improper Alloy Mix causing that wood grain appearance - aka Woody - I want to share this webpage with you -

    The rest of your coins have no errors or varieties :watching:

    and.. your poll is invalid :wacky:

    Poll not really necessary.. just post and ask questions. I find Polls annoying at times :yuck:

    A poll is not a requirement when you post. And it can be annoying. In fact, that option shouldn't even exist.

    I agree but I haven't figured out how to do just the post, if I don't it tells me that I need to have a least 2 poll responses.
    Thanks

    thanks, here is a scan of the back of that wood grained look coin. What do you think?
    It happens when I create a new post, I will take a screen shot of that message when I make my next "New Post."

    If this is what you are referring to, you can actually write your post and click on "Create Thread". You don't have to do anything below that button.
