jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 12:02 am I have sorted through 100k wheat pennies the last 7 months and have another 100k to go through. I have pulled about 400 woodies, just because I was bored. I thought I might post some of the more interesting, any interest? Starting off with a 1916P in XF45 Report this Post to the Staff

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 11:02 am John, just because it doesn't have eye appeal, to you at least, doesn't mean it is not a woody. A Woody isn't a woody because of eye appeal. It is a woody because of an improperly alloyed planchent. The graining is there and goes through to both sides. It is interesting that the areas that came into greatest contact with skin oils show the most variation. The color is a bit off. In hand the dark portion is more a more reddish brown. And the yellow is more of a bright brass color. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 12:16 pm jmkendall, First off I do not think it's a woody at all. It looks more like environmental damage. Secondly,if it was a woody (I) would not be interested in buying it or keeping it if I found it roll searching. You and everyone else has the right to your collecting interests John1 Report this Post to the Staff
