jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 04/18/2013 11:33 am Is there any interest in Wood Grained Coins? I have seen mention here and there; but rarely paid much attention. Lately I have been sorting through bags of Pennies. I have gone through 60,000 so far. As I was sorting I pulled any woodgrained coin where the graining was well defined. Some are even spectacular. My question is; are these worth pulling for anything other than my own enjoyment. I am a dealer as well as a collector. Do they bring any premium in higher grades? I've looked at ebay and the results are few and far between. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 04/18/2013 12:29 pm Personally, I really like the wood-grain effect on coins. It is caused by the alloys not being thoroughly mixed when the planchets were made. As far as whether it brings an increased premium, I think it's like toning. Some people love it, some don't.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19942 Posts	Posted 04/18/2013 1:47 pm There are MANY woody fans...including me. I would pay a premium for what I call a "red wood", i.e. a red, mint state woody. Others highly depend on how they look as woodgraining has a lot of variety. Lincoln Cent Lover!
