Hello, I have recently saw lots of threads on wood colored US coins, are they worth anything (i have 2 indian head cents like that)? Thanks
They are called Wood Grains or "woodies" and occur on coins with copper in them. I have only ever seen them on cents, but there are some cases where it may happen on a nickel. From what I understand it caused by an improper alloy mixment. I personally find them attractive in UC condition, but do not care for lesser grade ones. They do not bring a premium except to a woodie collector. The biggest woody collector here I beleive to be Rlms cents, or Richard.
Hello. Not sure if you mean wood color or wood grain. If it's wood grain, here is a thread regarding those: http://www.cointalk.com/t65353/
