CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 06/20/2023 7:07 pm This is a Philippines Centavo but at the time it was a US territory so I believe this is the appropriate forum to post this. I don't know a lot about these but It has a nice design and this one really caught my eye with the dramatic striped alloy mix error. The coin is also showing some lamination issues.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 06/20/2023 7:55 pm Thanks P55 and Coinfrog, I'm not sure about those dots as they almost appear to be squared by design. Nothing else looks doubled so I'm assuming its normal design. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 06/21/2023 09:30 am Thanks Dearborn, yes I think this would be considered a woody though not a typical looking one.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 06/21/2023 1:07 pm I do not know if this it is woody coin. the alloy of 95 cooper and 5 zinc and tin do not has this color woody and pattern. 5.11 gr it is a little bit underweight from 5.30gr. to be sure about I will do an XRF test to see exact alloy. This was war time coin strike and many things happened it that time from the point of view of alloys. Second the color of the Reverse full dark and side and some lines on Observe do not has woody compliances. I think a foreign substance. Reverse show like liquid spreed on. this it is my opinion. It is a relative common coins of Filipinas 5 mill strike Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/21/2023 5:48 pm I'm also a little skeptical about this being a woody. It seems like it might just be oddly-colored surface oxidation. It is fun to speculate though.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 06/22/2023 1:56 pm Thanks for the info Doug, I thought the lower mintage, condition, and alloy error made this a solid pickup for $15.
