It is MUCH different than all the others I have in color. It is in very good condition. Take a look at this picture and let me know what you think. Thank you! Edit- Better pictures posted below!

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 01:30 am Looks like what is called a "woody", for it's wood grain appearance. It is an improper mix of the alloys used to make the planchet. Some people really like these! Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 01:54 am I thought the first picture showed it best. A little too much glare on the second set. Report this Post to the Staff

Need4Speed1299 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 7:02 pm Im going to have it graded and possibly up for sale soon. However, this is my favorite so far. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 01/17/2011 7:15 pm There is no need to get it graded. It will cost you more to have it graded than the coin will bring you in return. Just put up clearer pictures in the grading forum and get a consensus and just sell it like it is, if you want to maximize your profits. Report this Post to the Staff
