Fooltraveln Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 09/14/2022 02:46 am It seems to be a previous mintmark like the large D that is worn and shallow. I have that mintmark on other 84 cents. This is the most visible of the 84 D cents I have for a mint mark variety Report this Post to the Staff

Fooltraveln Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 09/14/2022 5:50 pm So is that why some coins have tons of little bumps like the pox. I have seen lots of coins where the surface looks like wood grain. Must be related Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/14/2022 5:54 pm Wood grain looking coins is a real thing. They are called woodies because of an alloy mixing error. Little bumps on copper plated cents are trapped zinc dust particles. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/14/2022 7:19 pm @Fooltravein - Little zinc particle bumps and genuine woodgrain have nothing in common at all. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 09/14/2022 7:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 09/14/2022 7:54 pm Very nice images you posted up here, thanks for that. And yes, for some reason, the MM area is a common area for a zinc bubble to form up. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Fooltraveln Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 09/15/2022 01:31 am Thank you all for the info. Well I always keep the ones that have the wood grain look. Visually I always think of wooden nickels and keep em I have pounds of them. The bumps always reminds me of stories sickness from medieval times. I collect what I like. As most do. Even if they have no value. Report this Post to the Staff
