Those are "woodgrain" cents, caused by improperly mixed alloys.

 

Yep, or "woodies".

I don't study them a ton, but they seem pretty common on cents from indian head cents up to the forties. There are some true collectors who only pursue these coins.

 

Thanks fella's. Much appreciated

 

Harkens to a lost time
