This is a very sharply struck 1913 Lincoln Cent that has a slight wood grain in the NE part of the obverse and SE part of the reverse. Wood grain toning is caused by an improper mixture of metal is when the planchets are made at the mint on copper coins. On American coins this is most common on Lincoln Cents struck from 1913-1924 and also seen from 1909-1912 and 1925-1927 to a lesser frequency than the former in my experience. This does not damage the coin and does not effect the grade. That being said about wood grain a disclaimer on my photographs ---- you'll actually like the coin a whole lot more in person rather than in the pictures. Think of a Nestle Crunch bar and just a little bit lighter color than that is how this coin actually looks. Also the wear spots you see on Mr. Lincoln don't stick out as "spots" like they do in the pictures. These wear "spots" and the wood grain toning distort the color in pictures and make the coin look too light color in the pictures. The bottom line --- your purchase price (less return shipping) back if you don't like the coin.
