I do not know if this it is woody coin. the alloy of 95 cooper and 5 zinc and tin do not has this color woody and pattern. 5.11 gr it is a little bit underweight from 5.30gr. to be sure about I will do an XRF test to see exact alloy. This was war time coin strike and many things happened it that time from the point of view of alloys.
Second the color of the Reverse full dark and side and some lines on Observe do not has woody compliances. I think a foreign substance. Reverse show like liquid spreed on.
this it is my opinion. It is a relative common coins of Filipinas 5 mill strike

I'm also a little skeptical about this being a woody. It seems like it might just be oddly-colored surface oxidation. It is fun to speculate though.

Thanks for the info Doug, I thought the lower mintage, condition, and alloy error made this a solid pickup for $15.

The most lowers mintage for this series was1908 2.1 Mill, 1909 1.7 Mill,1910 2.7 Mill, 1915 2.5 Mill and 1920 2.5 Mill. and the variety 1918 Large S. Your coin was sold outside N. America with designation UNC which for me was MS 60 with 92 US. Hope help. They are collectors here around for those coins. Hope help

Excellent looking coin! The light lam, paired with the coloring leads me to believe it is a woody, as the two will go hand in hand on occasion. Congrats on the pick up!

@ MAKE: 1914 centavos this coin was struck in San Francisco and has the same composition as 1914 Cent US. Can you show me and I know you must have woody US Cent 1914? Same alloy , just different Dies. I want to see only one cent with this color. Me I see a cleaned coins and solutions residual on.

Sil, I do not. I'm not like you fancy collectors, most of my finds are from bank rolls.  I will occasionally buy something though. I'm pretty comfortable with the woody attribution. I did look through my cataloged woodies and did not find that color mix but I have several in a pile I have not filed. I'll try to go through them in the next few days. -makecents-

Don't know if it fits the definition of a woody or not. All I know is I like it and it's purdy. |
