Hello There Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 11/24/2015 11:49 pm I saw people mention woodie cents. What are those? How are they made? Is it considered an error? Do they hold a premium? What denomination other than cents have them? Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 11/25/2015 12:12 am This. Considered an improper alloy mixture and yes, they hold a slight premium up to what one is willing to pay. The wilder, generally the more desirable. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/25/2015 09:56 am Cents are not the only ones that might show the "woodie" look. Nickels, especially Buffalo (Indian) Nickels can sometimes be found with that look, too. Report this Post to the Staff

Hello There Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 11/25/2015 6:12 pm So a woodie looks like it has a wood design to it? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/26/2015 3:26 pm Yes. The alloys used did not mix thoroughly. Happened a lot on wheat cents. It is in the stock material used in the coin making process. They are not created by a strike. Just when stock was at issue. The larger the effect is, the more desirable they are.
