Cool. Woodies are fun finds! Your exposure is a bit bright...I'm sure it looks even better with the white balance corrected... I'm guessing it looks a little more like this
@James Gordon, that's a wonderful one. We've some 17s like that. Will you look a that rim. They don't make them like that anymore...
Woodies are collectable but not very valuable. They are unique and are keepers. You have a nice one there. Thanks for posting it.
Love it! Years ago (decades ago) I would have tossed woodies back into the wild as defective/ugly coins. Now I hunt for them! Steve
Some folks really like the Woody appearance. I like it...but generally not on an investment coin. The early LWCs had plenty of years where woodies were prevalent.
