Sunraider New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 7:29 pm I know normally it is better to post each coin separately but this pertains to the same subject for each, so kept it to one post. Each coin is in order of obverse and reverse in pictures. Anyway, these are some of the coins I have found and believe to be woodies. My question is if I am correct, and what exactly makes a "woodie" valuable to someone who collects them? Thank you. Been wanting to ask this for awhile, but I try not to blow up the site. Thank you!!! * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 11:06 am Welcome and those are really great looking woodies. Metal alloying errors are pretty complex scientifically speaking and each is unique. Report this Post to the Staff
sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 11:11 am T-Bop - laminations and woodies are related, and on the 1917 you can see the starting of a lamination from the "D" to the "US". It maybe just wasn't as unmixed as the rest of the metal at that location. Report this Post to the Staff
