Yes, a reverse pic would help. I personally don't care for woodies either, but I know some people collect them by date.  to the CCF! |

I am a big fan of woodgrained copper and I WOULD pay a small premium for one. In the case of this coin not so much. CAC agrees with the grade, but it looks to me like the coin may have seen a cleaning. A circulated coin with alloy issues can mask a multitude of problems. The grunge / toning isn't uniform and that doesn't appeal to me. I would pass on this example.
This raises a question I've had for a while - does striking pressure change the alloy in some way at / near the devices? That may account for the darker toning around them.

I think if you managed to pull it off for $850 or less it would be a good deal. I'm not a fan of this particular ones visual appearance, but maybe you are.
I wouldn't go past $900 for it though even if I liked it's appearance, and really I think it will go past $900 with the amount of interest it already has, and 6 days left.

I don't see the reasons why most of you guys are giving a negative review of this key coin . It's a virtual no problem example , wheat lines are all there , V.D.B. pops right out ,date & mint clear , nice LIBERTY . Just about everything we look for in a Wheat cent is there .An original no problem woodie with a grade of VF-25 . Some would give a 30 .  |

Appears to be lines from rough cleaning to me. Wood grains are usually longer and not so much like scrapings. I could be wrong but I sure wouldn't want to chance it.

It was graded by PCGS and has a CAC green bean, I think there is no worry to chance it  For what it's worth - Actually a "Woody" 09-S vdb makes it stand out from all the other just brown ones that we see constantly |

I think it's a not too bad looking coin.

That is a nice fine grained woody! I'm attempting to put togeather a complete set of woodgrained LWC. Much harder than you might think. Which is the fun! Strangely the "keys" to such a set are not at all what you would think. |

I like this one. It certainly has provenance. And (to me) it has nice eye appeal. To each their own... |

I concur with the consensus here. My personal preference would be to pass on the coin due to the asking price alone. I should be able to get a high AU or MS in brown for a lot less. and stay well, Diy89Nurm7 |
