dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 07/25/2009 12:57 pm here is a 1920P, found in my own stored coins. the jar was fairly old, and may have been a "penny jar" from when I was a teen, (1960's). in any case it seems like a fairly decent grade. opinions are appreciated. (i wrote down what I believe the grade to be). also - what are the lines diagonally on the coin. is this some form of "woodgrain". thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Electric_Op_Ltd Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 07/25/2009 1:17 pm It's in decent shape. An nice EF or AU I'd say but pics are not revealing enough, e.g. the wheat ears on the left. The woodgrain is seen in many LWC's of this era. Not up on this but I think it was the alloy in the planchets that caused this to happen, along with certain types of storage. At least you have original surfaces, lol. Not a bad find at all, by the way Bruce Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19945 Posts	Posted 07/27/2009 3:18 pm Excellent woody! It looks to be what I call a "hard planchet", the details look a bit flat and incomplete due to the hardness of the planchet. Scanners stink for coins, but I agree with echizento, it looks to be AU.

My general "rule of thumb" is that a coin must be worth at least $100 to make it worthwhile. This coin is worth < $10, therefore TPGing would not be smart. Lincoln Cent Lover!
