"Woodies" (...and what do you think of this one?)

[Kurtdog]

I'm throwing in a couple of her closeups to show you some of what you're missing in her pictures.This belongs to a girl in my kid's coin club. Just tell us what you think of it. If you don't think it's cool, don't worry, she doesn't disgrace easily.

 

Show us some of your wood-grained cents, too, if you got them. Note, they can be circulated or uncirculated. The only requirement is, you think they're cool.

 

PS: We're trying to check out the competition.

Kurtdog; That Cent is way cool with intricate wood graining. I have several wood grained Cents, but no photographs at the moment. Tell the girl in the coin club that the Cent meets with my complete approval.

[Kurtdog]

Excellent! I sure will!

[newprepper]

I though I'd check this out to see what was going to get you suspended, haha, cool cent

This one is a matte proof.

cool effect

Below is a coarse wood grain pattern on the obverse of a large cent. I was told last year by several board members that I was pretty dumb to buy this. TradeDollarNut (one of them PCGS Koolaid drinkers) even called me out for choosing poorly my 'dealer'. But I love this large cent and love the coarse wood grain pattern caused by poorly mixed alloy.

 

Best, HT

I like that kind of look!

[copper toning]

Poor girl is hooked for life.

 

Same effect different color on these. I too have been told by many these coins were a bad purchase. I must say that is one attractive large cent. What a strike and great fields.

 

 

[copper toning]

Just curious, do you think an improper alloy is the cause of this toning?

 

[TonerGuy]

All are very cool coins !

Thanks for breaking the ice!

 

 

[coinman1794]

There are cases where alloy is to blame. It is just as likely that the coins have a layer of grease imparted at the mint.

HT, this large cent is BEAUTIFUL.

the reverse is amazingly toned and I actually like the toning pattern on the obverse very much.

Ignore the people who tell you what you SHOULD collect/buy. Anyone who tries to tell you what coins SHOULD appeal to YOU - must be a little soft upstairs.

 

Some very attractive coins in this post! The Lincoln in the OP's post is very unique

[thecoinczar]

I think wood grain on coins can be very attractive and you all have posted some very attractive coins in this post. Please keep them coming.

[Hard Times]

Absolutely lovely woodgrains all and great idea for a thread! I agree keep them coming!

 

Best, HT

[Kurtdog]

Now that's what I call some pretty stiff competition! By all means, keep it goin'! I'm lovin' it!*

way nice coin all, wtg

[Kurtdog]

Here's something. These are all 1964 Philly Mints. I took this a long time ago. You get one of these in change, and you go, "Neat, a couple of bucks in silver." Seeing them together, though, I think it's kind of cool.

 

This is all that rather rustic-type graining, I'm sure many of you have seen. Notice how the lines are "directional" on each. The top two are basically Northeast to Southwest, while the bottom two are basically North to South.

 

Hey, it doesn't take much to impress me.

Nice woodies everyone, I also have afew but this is the only one I have pics of, in an old ANACS sm holder
