Thedeathtouch Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 12/04/2016 12:51 pm A "woody" is just a type of toning/tarnish that gives it a wood-like appearance. Some people collect them, but generally they have no extra value. Yours is just a fingerprint. Report this Post to the Staff

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 12/04/2016 1:20 pm TheDeathTouch - a woody is an improper metal alloy issue (not a toning result) I agree the original posters coin has a bad fingerprint. Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5588 Posts	Posted 12/04/2016 4:53 pm It was my opinion and that of others way back that the "woody" was caused by the final wash/rinse of the coin that affected the surface and caused the defining streaks .. not the alloy of the planchet itself Report this Post to the Staff
Paola1 Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 12/04/2016 5:21 pm Thanks everybody ! Okiecoiner, are you saying that it happened to the 1940 cent ? Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5588 Posts	Posted 12/04/2016 7:07 pm No .. those light marks are something else ... old scratches, spills or something else that contaminated it. Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 12/05/2016 08:26 am They look like old, old light scratches that the toning has covered up some. Report this Post to the Staff
Paola1 Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 12/05/2016 11:30 am Though was a woody , Its surface is plain and smooth also there is some of the "light color" inside of the kings's ears Report this Post to the Staff
