Got Wood?

If the coins truly is improperly mixed, the oxidation with age will emphasize the grain. However, if the coin is properly stored, the process will likely be so slow that you will not notice it in your live time. That specific coin, I do not know if it is environmental or the alloy causing what you see.

Man, I love the Safeway automatic change dispenser. Better than a bubble gum machine with prizes!

Got this 1918 wheat woody in my change tonight. A touch of verdigris on Lincoln's upper lip:

 

has anyone put together a complete wheat cent collection of woodie?

 

Here is a 1913-D!

 

Here's one of my world coins! It's actually gotten a little bit darker than this pic shows.

1920 Italy 5 centimes

 

So this is a woodie too?

 

1929-

 

1915-S. Not as nice as the 1929-, but then it is a 15-S.

 

Love that 15-S!

 

Do you all just collect woodie wheat cents or any year? I found a 1981 the other day and put it somewhere to take a photo...just havent' found it again yet.

 

I don't make any exerted effort for any memorial, but they are in the book because the book has slots for them.

 

Thanks!

I decided it was time to catch up on my other-than-slabbed photography. I have several more coming.

 

Here's a 1921 S with a lamination error I picked up a few weeks ago.

 

Nice coin and nice shape

 

1916

 

Nice!

 

Very nice 1916! One of my favorite years. I don't see these in MS very often, woody or not. I especially love red woodies!

 

1918-

 

1919-

 

Found this three days ago!!
