<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1184876, member: 26030&quot;]I have seen threads here about &quot;woody&quot; coins, which seems to be most common on copper one cent coins (<a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t65353/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t65353/">http://www.cointalk.com/t65353/</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p>Today I dug out a Buffalo Nickel from storage that I got as I kid (I think i bought it back in 1968 where it was advertised as B.U.).&nbsp; I noticed that the coin has developed toning, and on the back it almost looks like streaks, like a wood grain.&nbsp; I just photographed the coin with my iPhone and here is a photo.&nbsp; Would this be considered a &quot;woody&quot; (at least on the reverse)?&nbsp;&nbsp; Or is it just streaky toning?</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember when I was a kid this coin had fantastic luster -- funny how 43 years can change things.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]124040.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
