Technically, all Lincoln wheats are struck on bronze. 95% copper, 5% tin/zinc is a bronze. I will guess it is no better than this one. Still, unc 23-S are RARE!.

 

thanks. your explaination made me wonder why this coin was so special. it's not the bronze, just the date. thanks for taking time for this.

 

All except the 1943 Steel Cents.

 

Actually, I think the seller is referring to the wood graining, but that is far from rare for 23-S's. If his is truly a 65, It would be worth a chunk, but I don't think his is.

 

A really big chunk...

 

It's a nice woody, too.
