Sorry, not a woody IMO. Appears to be old, removed tape damage to me. You can see where it laid, it didn't still well in the recessed areas.

Yeah, noD..I agree with thad, looks like leftover scotch tape, lots of folks used tape to hold coins in place.  |

All streaks , obverse and reverse, are oriented in the same direction. I might be wrong of course. As always, I appreciate all input.  Any grade opinions? Edited by noD

AU/MS details, hard to tell if there's wear....I lean toward MS if there's cartwheel luster, AU if not.

Without seeing it in hand, I will have to respectfully disagree with Thad on this one. Looking at the recess below Lincoln, the lines are very strong. That would seem to me the least likely place for tape to stick. As the lines go up the coin, they tend to fade out. Imagine a blob of improper alloy mix being rolled from bottom to top. Makes sense to me anyway.

, the grain is apparent on both sides and points in the same direction when the coin is flipped. IMO it's ugly but it is a woodie. |

I agree with woodie as well. I have an earlier Lincoln Wheat cent with a very similar wood grain look to it. |

I'm in the Woodie camp, looks like a clear alloy issue on the obverse. Not so much on the reverse, but it's there.

First impression was a 63, thinking 62 details, so unc details.
Nice BN piece.

I'm still trying to learn here -. If this is not damage from tape, then why "details"?

The reason I gave for having been taped at some point in time was, you can see where some of the patina on the coin has been removed from Lincoln's chin down to the bottom of the coin. And.. as always, one must have the coin in hand to really be able to tell. What ever it is it is a pretty nice coin even it it has been 'taped'.  |
