Nice pics, Coop. My favorite is the 06 Canadian cent. That should have sold for a pretty penny.

Either way, it's a pretty penny. lol Actually, it's a gorgeous penny and a 1906. They probably wouldn't have wanted to pay my price for it.

I agree with biokemist & SilverStackerKid. While still defined as a "woody" yours is not am impropper alloy mix like others pictured. Rather from roller lines crated as the stock sheets were rolled and pressed to the proper thickness. Very common on late 70's / early 80's pre zinc lincolns. As an fyi, we have a "show your woddies" thread for your viewing and posting pleasure  https://goccf.com/t/232926 |

Thank you.. I will have to view that thread and if I do find a "true" woody I will be sure to post it. I have a few hundred Wheaties to go through from my box searches and maybe I will find one.. :)

While much in Numismatics is based in facts, the cause of recent date Woodies remains a mystery. In addition to aforementioned theories, there is also the possibility the cause is due to improper annealment. For those who missed it, there was an excellent discussion of these theories in a post OP'd by SilverStackerKid on 23 Sept 15. Mr. Mike Diamond graciously participated in it. It is entitled Theories and Questions on Woodie Cents. In it one can find an in depth analyses of the possible causes. |

I think that discussion was centered on the Memorial cents. The wheat cents are known for this poor mixture issue.
Slamnbass: Great!
Addictive. LOL So true. I keep looking for more images. Not too long ago I had slightly less than 4,000 on my images host. I just checked today 4,578. But I love editing.

Yes, it was about recent coinage, Memorials and clad coinage. Everyone seems to agree on the Wheats.
