-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8731 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 6:25 pm It needs to be a copper cent to be a woody, this is a plated cent. It may have roller lines though but cannot tell from the pics. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8731 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 6:48 pm More than likely, just corrosion under the plating. Common on the copper plated zinc cents. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94867 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 7:01 pm no, a copper plated zinc coin cannot be a woodie. The copper is applied by a electro plating process Collecting since 1972.

Joshu - a Pillar of the Community United States 585 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 10:13 pm So woody isn't the right word. Is the penny over-plated? Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19120 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 10:19 pm The bubbly texture might be plating issues brought about by zinc dust. The photos posted are far too small to determine what might be going on. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 02/11/2022 12:42 am Woody is excluded. Plating or environments are the possibilities to give you the impression of woody. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 02/11/2022 4:59 pm Just zinc dust under the copper from not being cleaned properly. Quite common on the early year zincoins. Report this Post to the Staff
