[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3021550, member: 84179"]Your coin has environmental damage. Post 1982 cents are copper plated and would not have the alloying problems that are generally attributed to "woodies" In addition, there are many ways for environmental damage to look like an improperly mixed alloy. Just because a cent has streaks in it, doesn't automatically make it a "woody" Finally, unless they are very visually striking, improperly mixed alloys don't usually add much extra value to a coin, and in some cases, may actually reduce the value. That being said, go ahead and save/collect woodies if you like them, just don't expect to get rich selling them[/QUOTE]
