<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2206917, member: 1765&quot;]The &quot;woodgrain&quot; cents (and 2-cent pieces) pop up between 1864 and what seems like the 1920s and, as mentioned, are a result of a non-homogeneous alloy.&nbsp; Some people like them, some don&#039;t.&nbsp; There are probably enough out there where it would be possible to restrict collecting to those cents that have woodgrain toning and build quite a collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>The blurriness on your coin has two sources. It has been worn down to VG condition, so more than half of the original detail is gone.&nbsp; It also seems to have been struck with a mushy, worn out die, as LIBERTY should be sharper than it is on a coin worn like yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the downside, however, your coin looks to have been cleaned at one time.&nbsp; There&#039;s too much brightness on the coin for its grade, and this is especially apparent on pictures ...0022 and ...0023.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
