Is This A Woody LMC?

It's a Woody. The condition of the coin pretty much kills any collector interest. The old copper cent Woodys are widely accepted to have been caused by an improper alloy mix. The cause of Modern Woodys on the newer copper-plated cents is not known. There are theories that have evolved from year to year for the last several years, but it's all speculation - the cause is not understood. What is understood is that Woodys were originally named for their resemblance to wood. They all have a visible "grain" (stripes) which can be evenly spaced or variable. Also, they can occur on any denomination of any composition (including clad coins), and be on one or both sides of the coin.

We care, the mint is not happy that there are collectors. To find out the cause, a study would have to be conducted at the mint. I like all Woodys as well. As with any variety, error, or rare date, condition determines interest.

Gary, Here's a dime Mr. Mike Diamond posted on here a while back.

Glad you like it. The discoloration occurs often on the clad Woodys, adding weight to one of the theories of excessive heat being a contributing factor for their cause.
The mint is not fans of us for several reasons, a couple of which are, we bring attention to their mistakes and we hoard their coins.

Very true coinmasters I guess if someone was not only pointing out all my mistakes but displaying them and bringing attention to them I would probably feel the same way lol. That's a great woody slamnbass . is that from your collection?
