The early Lincoln years had a lot of them that looked like that. A poor mixing of copper in the planchets are to be blamed. Some call it the wood grain affect.

Thanks. Just picked it up at the Vegas show. I could not pass it up for $5. He had some pretty nice Lincolns. Got a few more for my Dansco.

Thanks Thad! When he tossed it at me, I thought I was looking at a zebra! The holder said $6, he said $5, I said, SOLD!

Nice coin! I find it better if you put the coin on a black background well lit. This works pretty good.
