I know a lot of folks like toned coins, and a lot like woody alloy coins, but if you haven't seen a toned woody then here ya go. 1955-S Lincoln wheat cen - toned woody   |

Very nice-looking coin, but I am wondering if that is surface toning and not a woody? John1  |

Very attractive toning and "wood grains". You take great pictures. I'd be curious about how the alloy problems appear at 30X.

Ok folks it's time for sugar coating a magnificent toned woody Lincoln . As nick10 said '' they don't get much better then that '' . MS-66+ . Eye appeal 10/10 .  |

Thanks everyone! While I think 68 would be a stretch, and 67 pretty unlikely, I do plan on submitting to PCGS with trueview as surely it can at least do 66. Maybe next fall I'll get it back from them and update this thread (sorry, sarcasm, as they take so, so, so long to grade coins).

Great looking coin.
It brought to mind the infamous London fog and the way it flows across Lincoln's bust.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
