Howdy all...I do have a few very nice error coins...'just gotta love them. One is a xxfine detailed 1905 Indian Head that has an improper alloy mix leaving a beautiful "Wood Grain Error". It is present on both sides and the coin is uncirculated. Soon as I figure out how to compress the photos I'll post

Errors are nice, and so are the 'woody' cents, but the woodys are not errors. They can carry some minor premium value for their uniqueness, but an 'error' coin is a coin that the mint did not intend to release as it is, and they did not care about having purely and properly mixed alloy as long as the coins held together.
