<p>[QUOTE="No_Ragrets, post: 26346576, member: 151874"]So I decided to peruse through my penny books today and couldn't quite figure out why this 1940 penny reverse looks the way that it does. I'm mostly familiar with the "woody" Lincoln's and why they show the wood grain look but this one just looks... different. The obverse doesn't appear to have the same effect as the reverse, so I'm kinda stumped. Anyone care to elaborate or explain what would cause this? It looks more like tiger stripes in person than it does in the pictures. Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1681830[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1681831[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1681832[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1681833[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1681834[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1681835[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1681836[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1681837[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1681838[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1681839[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
