ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 9:50 pm Those are roller lines, not the classic woody feature seen on cents struck on improperly mixed alloy planchets. Woodys most commonly appear on wheat cents up through the '50s, some later. Roller lines tend to be seen on LMC coins, such as the one you have. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 10:02 am "The difference?" Woodys are from a poor mixture o of copper in the stock material. Rolling lines are on the surface and wear off shortly after they appear from circulation contact. They can be seen on un-struck planchets and on struck planchets: But appear after the BU surface goes away. So the lines on the highest points of the coin will show them go away quicker.
