I found this 1919s and the finish is rather interesting. Looks like a woodgrain. I know the pictures are horrible but let me know what ya think of my new 1919s.
It appears to be woodgrained (a woodie). You are correct, your pictures are very hard to read. I would guess it would go VF and likely has been cleaned. Is it valuable? Well, that depends on your definition of valuable. You would have to pay a couple dollars for it, but good luck selling it.
This one is really hard to photograph, my two main woody's are both on foreign coppers. I post em in a bit. Is there a reason that older Lincolns are more likely to have this trait?
Here's an ORE I don't remember where they're from but I am thinking it may be Swiss or Sweden. It may be the Netherlands, I'm sure someone will know right off and pipe in and tell us. :bow: I messed up and almost posted the wrong pic, that's why this is all I will post for now, just the obv. Then there's my 5 Centimes from Italy.
