cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 05/08/2010 5:55 pm http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWAX:IT That is a serious case of woodgrain! The price seems to be pretty reasonable for what it is. It's hard to see the obverse through all that woodgrain, but the wheat lines on the reverse look pretty good! Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 05/08/2010 8:37 pm Hi cwb, To be completely honest this coin is about as unattractive a coin as I have seen in awhile, IMO its not a woodgrain it suffers from severe environmental damage and perhaps a feeble attempt to clean some of it off. I can't see it good enough to authenticate it. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 05/08/2010 8:42 pm That's what I was thinking too. The color of the streaks is off. It should not have a silver color to it. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 05/08/2010 10:03 pm I agree. I don't think it is wood grain. Also I see damage near the second "T" in TRUST. And what ever that is on the coin, seems to be flaking off, in front of the forehead and on the back of the head. I would lean toward paint. But as they say, that is just my opinion Edited by GR58 05/08/2010 10:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 01:51 am I'm with metalman, first paragraph, verbatim. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 01:54 am Oh, and it's really not a horrible deal if you don't mind a damaged coin. It's a VF-30 coin and he's only asking G money for it. Nonetheless, I'd rather have solid G coin that's not been damaged. Lincoln Cent Lover!

cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 02:44 am When I first saw this coin, it reminded me of that 1921-S woody cent that BadThad had posted a while back: https://goccf.com/t/62780 I was thinking that this looked similar, but now that I've actually gone back and dug up that old thread, this coin looks nothing like that woodgrain on Thad's 21-S. I'm glad I consulted with you guys first. I actually considered putting in an offer on it when I first saw it. Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff
