Hello...why is there a strange toning to this coin? Is it a woody penny?

Re: 1909 VDB "Woody" Wheat Cent
Could be a "woody" but something seems off on the coloring of Lincoln's portrait.
The coloring seems to change with the height of the metal (high and low spots on the face).
A woody is usually streaked with parallel color differences.
This one might be a recolored or altered color candidate.

It has some planchet allow impurities or improperly mixed alloy but has worn down and would now add any value to the coin.

i CAN NOT give an answer from these images here....
:eureka:
FYI ... the 'improper alloy mixture' should show on the reverse also

Impurities can be on one side of a coin or coil stock, we see it with lamination errors all the time.
