  1) Die Fill

  2) Die scratches

  3) Damage on a real die fill error seen in 1

  4) Improper Alloy Mix, Super Nice example BTW!

  Yes. The Indian is from a grease-filled die that filled the middle numbers in the date. the Lincoln is from an improperly mixed alloy. If there are a lot of these stripes, they get the nickname "Woody", because they look like they have a wood grain.

  how does a indian head cent get circulated for this long without someone pulling it out earlier? I'm just surprised that the coin is so circulated. And I do like the red "woody" cent. No way I could pass either one of them by at that price.
