kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5069 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 7:01 pm Nice woodie. I don't see any lamination though. Describe it as if there were no picture. Picture it as if there were no description. Report this Post to the Staff
shantiom Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 7:07 pm Is lamination or alloy mix issues the cause of the wood grain patterning, if the latter, I stand corrected !! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 53719 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 7:28 pm The wood-grain appearance is an alloy mix issue, not related to laminations. No lamination seen here. Grade very difficult to evaluate from these pics guessing EF or low AU. Report this Post to the Staff
shantiom Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 7:32 pm @Coinfrog What about the pic can improve for photograding? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 53719 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 8:17 pm I don't think it matters much from a value standpoint. It's pretty clearly not uncirculated, and so worth very little except possibly to a collector of woodies. Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 915 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 8:47 pm You can improve the photo by increasing the contrast and using a solid color background. A non-solid background increases the size of the .jpg, which means you have to compress the .jpg more for it to fit within the board's 300k limit, and increased compression takes away details from your coin.

Numiscrat Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 8:59 pm I said something about this coin on another post. The "grain" direction—as I perceive it—seems to be at different angles when flipping a coin over for with coin alignment instead of medal alignment? Doesn't the direction of wood grain have to match obverse and reverse? I am not positive that I am seeing the grain direction properly on the reverse due to picture quality, though.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 3851 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 9:55 pm I hate to disagree with Bruce...but I'm seeing little wear on this cent and just a few hits on the reverse with the left wheat lines a little mussy...Makes it a slider to me AU/MS Hope BadThad jumps in Report this Post to the Staff
Numiscrat Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 10:02 pm I retract my previous statement. After working my way through those pics again, I realize I was incorrect about the 1940. I thought the grain was running the other direction. I made a pattern out of glare and spots. I believe they do match. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 53719 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 10:37 pm Please disagree with me any time, I encourage it. I am no oracle. I just don't see any evidence of luster or sharpness that would suggest close to a mint state coin in this case. Edited by Coinfrog 12/02/2020 10:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Pillar of the Community United States 6915 Posts	Posted 12/03/2020 05:38 am Let's keep the posts on one thread please. Staff should refer folks to your other thread in the variety/error forum. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.finewoodcrafter.com Too many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time.

shantiom Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 12/03/2020 12:03 pm @nickelsearcher-will do, also should not be posting two coins in one post. @nick10-thanks for the feedback on background, I trust white or black is lowest byte of memory. Here is a link on digital image compression, it focuses more on scanning, but people here can geek out and learn more! https://www.scantips.com/basics1d.html thanks everyone for your engagement!

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 16768 Posts	Posted 12/03/2020 11:53 pm Very slight wear, does the coin cartwheel at all? AU-55 - It's a beautiful example of a woody, for that I give it WG-64! Lincoln Cent Lover! Edited by BadThad 12/03/2020 11:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
