Can't really tell if it is a woody or not, but the feature you point to in the second pic looks like a small lamination, and that large feature across the center also has the appearance of a lamination. A good pic of the obverse should help us here also.

Agree, probable lams, but in this condition I don't see much of a premium.   to the CCF! |

I'm more interested in that potential delam below CENT on the rev. Any chance of a nice close-up pic of that spot?

In addition to the above, full, sharp pics of the obverse and reverse might tell the story more quickly--emphasis on sharp. Close-in soft/blurry photos aren't helping much at the moment. Thanks.

I agree with needing better pics. I also agree the current ones look like a minor delamination on unum.

The wood grain is caused by the lam. Top is through UNIM bottom is across cent. And the letters you see are colors and shades of the grain.

@CUjohn The woody effect is cause by wrong mixt of the alloy. The rest of your explanation it is OK.

The bottom portion below cent is not flush with the coin. It is slightly lower, and very noticeable, than the rest of the coin. The bottom part of the T in cent is slightly raised then it dips back down. Where the 'other letter' after the T in cent starts that is when the coin goes sort of flush then it dips in again at the right wheat. That area is not just a lamination problem. You can actually feel the dip when you run your finger across that part of the coin. Also the bottom of the T in cent is longer when compared to other wheat pennies. I'll try another USB magnifier.

The color you see it is characteristic with the exfoliation of the material due to the rupture of the crystalline structure of the alloy.
