Can anyone tell me about the lines on my penny?

If you dug it from the ground, I'd say a glacier rolled over it. If you found it in your pocket...keep it! Maybe it's an anomaly. No matter what it's cool.

I know realise; I have spent most of my life doing neither what I ought, nor what I liked.

They are called "woodies" or "woodgrain pennies" .... it is caused by an improper mixture of alloys. Not worth much more than it's copper value, but people do collect them. I have one or two tucked away somewhere. That's a nice one !

Thanks guys. My boy lost two teeth this week and both times I found an oddity in the toothfairy change:-)

Don't worry Dad. It all works out in the end. When they're young, everything is a lesson. Kittens, games and dirty nickles build character.
