A woody..nice....do this have any premium?

 

Sure,possibly a few bucks,ppl collect them

 

Proper terminology would be Improperly Mixed Alloy (aka woody) in a nice condition I would say $2.00 - $3.00

 

Thanks bud.. I learned something new .

 

Not a Woody!

“1978 to 1982 saw many examples of these. They are not a true "Woody" which is an improper alloy mix. They are most likely roller marks, characterized by relatively straight and evenly spaced stripes. While they may show on both sides of the coin, many times they do not.” - Mike Diamond

"They are from dirty or polluted lubricant that is used during the rolling process that gets impregnated into the surface of the strip and remains after it has been rolled to proper thickness." – Ken Potter

At least two prominent numismatists agree that these are not examples of an Improper Alloy Mix or “Woodies”.

Here are some Woody Examples:

 

Thank you for ur help..and the link

 

@Pete Apple
That is new to me.. Interesting!

 

That's a nice woody. A wood grain look caused by an improperly mix alloy.

 

These are just roller marks, why the difference in "copper" color/toning?

 

Did you read the post Pete apple provided. It isn't a woody.

 

I have now. Very interesting. @Pete Apple How did you come across this information? And thank you for providing it to us.

 

I enjoy studying and research. Found it that way.

 

Thank you.

 

I got a plastic penny a few days ago. Is it from a game or something else?

 

They both look the same to me. I would have called it a woody too. But that's something I learned today. Cool thread.

 

Nice thread!

 

I'm with @Shrews1994 ...I thought "woody" immediately. Cool beans for @Pete Apple 's info. Waay cool thread...Spark
