Never worry about the usage of PENNY. Remember this is America and we call all our money different things. We have 2 bits, a fin, penny, nickel, saw buck, note, bill and lots more. We can and do use whatever terminology we want for what ever we want. And also, try coppercoins.com

The jargon for that coin is a "woody", believe it or not. It is caused by improper mixing of the metallic alloy's contents.

Does a "woody" coin have any extra value?

It is an individual preference, but there are many who will pay a premium for a woody.
