Item Description
For sale is a circulated 1979 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial penny that looks, well, different.
Both the obverse and reverse have a "wood grain" look that evidently is the result of an improper mixture of the coin's two main ingredients -- copper and zinc -- in the minting process.
According to cursory research on a few Internet coin forums, some people find this "wood grain" look cool. Thus, the penny may be a welcome, albeit unusual, addition to a collection.

The customer's shipping cost for USPS Ground Advantage will depend on his/her location. I am located in New Jersey. The shipping cost listed above -- $4.44 -- is for not more than eight ounces from my location to the farthest USPS zone in the continental United States -- the West Coast.
If you want to buy the penny, please first provide your zip code. I'll calculate the shipping cost and let you know the amount to be paid.
