mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 7:55 pm This is the same thread I started yesterday. I was trying to see if someone would comment on this coin with a negative but it didn't happen. Maybe that's a good thing. When I found the coin it was in a flip marked: In my opinion, I feel the coin is an improper alloy mixture or 'Woody' and not a cleaning like the dealer thought. I'm I right? Am I wrong? Woody with an old cleaning? Thanks for the help. It was very hard to capture the exact color on this penny. Edited by mds308 02/24/2013 4:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/25/2013 02:47 am While it does look cleaned, it does not look harshly cleaned to me. It also shows signs of an improper alloy mixture but isn't a bonafide woody. $32 (if that's what you paid) sounds like a very fair price. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
