<p>[QUOTE="kdkenn, post: 619261, member: 15282"]Today at work I found a silver dime and I think 7 wheat cents. I haven't bought them from my drawer yet because I was late getting out of work and just didn't have time to mess with it. I think of the wheat cents I already have most of them I haven't checked my folder though. ANYWAYS to the point. I think it is on the 36 (this is my first of these though) but it kind of looks like it has a wood grain on it to me. I didn't get to look at it closely and tomorrow I will take a pic and post when I get home (it will be late). I also checked my book and saw that the double die for that year brings a higher premium. I'm sure mine isn't a DD but I have never seen one myself with my own eyes (not sure what I'm looking for) so I may need help from you guys determining this. </p><p> </p><p>I know seeing the pics will tell you guys alot more but if it is a "wood grain" what causes this and does it hurt or help the value? Sorry if this is a stupid question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
