Found my second 2008D Lathe lines last night! :D I love the lathe lines on this year because of how strong and wide they are. Also visible on the Monticello.  Edited by BlueSolo

I had to do a little research about what lathe lines are and found a listing of coins with lathe lines on the following website. There are 4 nickels for 1980 listed there. New to me but perhaps you were already aware of it. http://www.errorvariety.com/Lathe-lines/ |

Are lathe lines worth anything? And for that matter, are Lincoln "woodies" worth anything? I've tossed a number of these back not thinking much about it.

Neat O, Blue! Wrestling, I know a lot of people check what coins have sold for on ebay to determine worth. Some people look to coin value guides. I think coins are worth what the owner is willing to sell them for. I think this, because if the owner doesn't get his price, he has actually "bought" the coin himself. Btw, Woodies come in all denominations. |

Well said CoinMasters
wrestling: Same goes for toning. Toning will increase the value because people find it aesthetic, but some people don't like it. It's all opinion :D

So a woody and lathe marks don't hold value like a coin error (DDO, VAM, etc) |

Woodys and lathe marks are errors (I think). I know they weren't intentional. Nice strong Doubled Dies are probably the most valuable of most anomalies.

Woody and lathe marks are both technically errors. A woody is the improper mix of metals isn't it? And lathe lines are featured on a die that was meant to be polished off. Double dies and VAMs are more well known and collectible. They have happened for many years and many different varieties to collect. Take a look at: http://www.errorvariety.com/Lathe-lines/ (Thanks by the way Pete41, I knew about this :D) So there is a few of them, but not very many, and many people don't really even know about them. On a few posts of lathe lines I've seen someone always comments about how they learned or had to research to find out more about them. So I guess to answer your question: It's not an error that will have spectacular worth, but to pay 5 cents it's a neat thing to have in a collection to show and teach people. |

I think the Woodies are actually insufficiently mixed. I also believe the lathe lines were insufficiently polished off the Hub. There seems to be a lot of insufficiency going on at the mint. The only thing that is not insufficient is the amount of zinc they give to Linc to make it stink. Zinc is of insufficient quality to make pennies. I think aluminum would be acceptable.
