Beautiful , it looks like camouflage .

 

Anybody know whats going on with the reverse?

 

I would guess a lamination that came off before the strike.

 

its not a die break?

 

A die break would have a hole in the die - raised area on the coin. I am nearly positive that is a depression on you coin. Strike through maybe, but I don't see how that lettering could be so clean.

 

I agree , it looks like a lamination error of the planchet then struck .

 

The contrast on this one is so dramatic it is hard to picture.

 

If I had found that coin I'd have thought of some kind of corrosion . Amazing contrast for sure .

Super nice red wood! LOVE IT

 

Fwiw - With in fine woodworking - similar grain patterns are referred to as Quilted. Not uncommon in maple. Super rare in Lincoln cents! ? That is a wild pattern for sure. Now we need curly or tiger, spalted and birds eye patterns to complete the set.

 

I stopped in to grab this thread and send to an ebay seller a . How can a person collect coins for 50 years and never heard the term wood?

 

How much is the ransom?

 

Doesn't collect Lincolns. I have seen a couple.

 

I want that 1909.
