I don't see the reasons why most of you guys are giving a negative review of this key coin . It's a virtual no problem example , wheat lines are all there , V.D.B. pops right out ,date & mint clear , nice LIBERTY . Just about everything we look for in a Wheat cent is there .An original
no problem woodie with a grade of VF-25 . Some would give a 30 .

Appears to be lines from rough cleaning to me. Wood grains are usually longer and not so much like scrapings. I could be wrong but I sure wouldn't want to chance it.

It was graded by PCGS and has a CAC green bean, I think there is no worry to chance it
For what it's worth - Actually a "Woody" 09-S vdb makes it stand out from all the other just brown ones that we see constantly

That is a nice fine grained woody!

I'm attempting to put togeather a complete set of woodgrained LWC. Much harder than you might think. Which is the fun! Strangely the "keys" to such a set are not at all what you would think.

I like this one. It certainly has provenance. And (to me) it has nice eye appeal.

To each their own...

I concur with the consensus here. My personal preference would be to pass on the coin due to the asking price alone. I should be able to get a high AU or MS in brown for a lot less.

and stay well,
