No wood there, but I can certainly understand why you would ask.

Not the first one, but I think you could make an argument for the other two.  to the CCF! |

i agree coin 2 looks like a real possibility. the other 2, I don't think so.

I always consider any coin where the improper mix of its alloys reveals itself as different colors or tones on the surface to be a woodie. That said, I only set aside the ones I find striking in some way.
The OP's coins being woodies ?
#1 , no
#2 and #3 , yes

Thanks for all the responses! Appreciate it. Here are some better pictures. Iphones magnify tool is amazing! These coins definitely stick out like a sore thumb from all the others.    |

to CCF! The 1938 is a no. The 1927 and the 1940 both show slightly streaked toning (aka slight Woodies.) I'm not sure who came up with the "Woody" name for this kind of toning, but they helped sell a lot of coins. I don't know, but I may be the only person on CCF that just doesn't like this look. It never appealed to me. I had to go back and correct my typing TWICE because I called them Wookies. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
