Some speculate the yellow color is the addition of unmixed brass(more tin and zinc than normal). No one really knows why. Here's a real woodie on a very cleaned coin: And here is a modern Stinkin Zincoln "Woody": Report this Post to the Staff

Three grams falls within the parameters for weight. 3.11 is ideal, and 2.5 for the plated cents. Report this Post to the Staff

UltraRant Pillar of the Community Norway 1358 Posts	Posted 09/29/2017 10:19 am You probably have a cent made of alloy, not a plated one. You can also distinguish by finding a plated cent from 1982: plated cents are 0.30 mm thinner than cents made of alloy. And you have a small date. Can't say about the wood grain, screen's not good enough and I need other pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
