parkay Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 12/18/2015 4:11 pm What would cause the wood grain appearance on this PL small cent? I have never saw one this way. I just took it out of 2000 Uncirculated SE set Thanks in advance * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 12/19/2015 1:15 pm A while back I posted this penny: https://goccf.com/t/187537 The expert opinions said it was a lacquered penny. Apparently the mint lacquered pennies to keep their luster in mint sets. So I am wondering if this is the case with your coin? Report this Post to the Staff
