Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 10:00 am Looks like a nice woody to me, although the obv looks rubbed or something compared with the rev. Or is that just the lighting on that pic? Not sure if there is any added value to this over normal premium for it being a circulated P-mint LWC.

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5683 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 11:44 am If it's a true woody, it's odd that the grain pattern doesn't extend all the way to the rim on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Optimist-numismatist Pillar of the Community Canada 683 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 5:57 pm I agree with Ken. On a second note, why do 1928-1939 lwcs seem to be the more common years for woodies and on ones struck before and after they seem more uncommon? Report this Post to the Staff
