Every once in a while I run across a penny that looks different that the others color wise. This particular one has stripes. I am guessing it is from a poorly mixed batch of metal. Any other Ideas?   |

To me, all of this looks like post-mint damage ( PMD) rather than a beat-up Woodie, but I may be wrong.  to the CCF! |

Doesn't look like a Woodie, looks like it got dragged across asphalt...

Yours is a trashed coin, damaged and discolored. You do come across "Woodies"  Or in more common Memorials:  And this is an honest to goodness "Woody"(sic)   |

I'm thinking that it's just a discolored coin as well.
Errers and Varietys.

Maybe it was cleaned at some point of the coin's life?

Idk. I think the back looks pretty promising. It's obviously pretty worn just from the fact if being so old and the lines are still present on the high points of the coin. It looks a little dusty too which doesn't help. I'd maybe try wiping it down with some distilled water and light soap or I've heard olive oil maybe? Not 100% sure but I def would get rid of it. Better pics after that wouldnt prob be more telling. Just my opinion.

Not meaning to go against the opinions of the others but this coin is a woodie.
If the coin were oriented properly in the two photos the angle that the streaks of tone run would show to be the same. This is typical of a woodie.
Between the longer runs of tone there are smaller elongated spots of tone that are running perpendicular to the long ones. This is the same structure you will see when a coin de-laninates. This is what shows the common relationship between lams and woodies
Nice coin

My 1928P-1DO-001 is a similar Woodie.  |

I also agree. The darker colors are just showing the poor mix of the copper before it was rolled out. There are a few contact marks on the coin, but a nice hole filler.

 Very cool find. Like I said before, probably will look a lot better after being cleaned a bit. |

Is this a woody? Yes. Definitely yes. Not that this makes it in any way especially rare.
Did it get dragged across the asphalt (or otherwise similarly damaged)? Probably yes, though it's hard to say (similar marks seem to show up on the table around the coin, so it might just be a camera thing).
Are those two things related? Not really. This could easily just be an actual woody that also happened to get damaged later.
