bungle Valued Member Japan 349 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 07:43 am I went through a few hundred pennies looking for one. Would this qualify as a woody? It looks a bit different from the Wheat cent woodies that I have seen here. I would call this Tiger's eye, or Jupiter! Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 09:27 am Yep, that's a woodie. I'm always surprised to see one after 1950. Woodies occurred mostly in the teens. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19987 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 7:01 pm Nice example! Fairly common in 1980 for some reason. Two sided examples with horizontal grain are scarce - definitely a keeper. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 11/03/2014 12:33 pm What irregularity(ies) during the minting process causes a LHC to qualify as a woody? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 190660 Posts	Posted 11/03/2014 1:51 pm It goes back to the alloy process. Long before the planchets are punched. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
