Or is it woodie... either way, if I'm right, it'll be the first thing I've actually learned on here...
I would say it is a woody. What is known as a Mottled woody on the obverse. http://www.error-ref.com/improper-alloy-mix/
Yup, looks like a woodie. I would be tempted to try and clean this one somehow to bring out the wood grain. Perhaps someone can make a suggestion.
