CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2747 Posts	Posted 08/16/2025 7:58 pm I was given a roll of early woody's and there were some nice ones. This was one of the standout examples. I was surprised upon weighing it to find it was 3.15g with all that wear. The reverse was unusually dull in comparison. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5797 Posts	Posted 08/16/2025 11:40 pm Nice contrasting colors. I agree with E&V about the reverse and also think this whole coin is showing signs of Die Deterioration. I've been told that after WWI the mint wore those dies out minting coins for commerce. Returning Doughboys and all. It is really evident when looking at 1919 & 1918 cents. There are also some stories about freshly minted BU red coins being distributed by the banks back then that already looked like they were well circulated because of the Die Deterioration. And it looks like this is a great example for including 1920 in that analysis. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
