T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/22/2021 2:24 pm 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 . Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/22/2021 2:43 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

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 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 99177 Posts	Posted 02/22/2021 4:06 pm I think it's a not too bad looking coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 02/22/2021 6:25 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12870 Posts	Posted 02/23/2021 12:47 am I like this one. It certainly has provenance. And (to me) it has nice eye appeal. To each their own... Report this Post to the Staff
Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 02/24/2021 12:06 pm 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 Report this Post to the Staff
