Thread started for everyone to showcase their "woody" coinsI don't normally don't go out of my way to collect anything above 1860, but these woody cents have caught my eye lately. I guess I'm starting a woody set!    Edited by Wade

Lots of woody collectors here. I love them, too. Here is an old topic with pages of photos. I'd post yours on there as well. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

How do these coins become "wood toned"? I see a lot of EF-AU pennies on ebay with inflated premiums and I'm just curious if this is an organic process or something similar to artificial toning. |

No, they came from the mint like that ... I have a number of them. It's my opinion that it was caused by a final wash/rinse that they received coming down the line before they went into the bins. They are quite common for post-WW1 Geos, but I've seen Eds with them as well.

Very nice all! I only have one to add. A more modern one.  |
