The buffalo term is &quot;alloy streaking&quot; instead of &quot;woody&quot; ( guess because nickels don&#039;t really brown as they tone) and it&#039;s not as dramatic or appealing to collectors as woodies, but it doesn&#039;t hurt the grade at all. it&#039;s actually not annealing that causes it, it&#039;s the alloy mix not mixed well.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then this brought me to a whole another thing to research.....</p><p>“intrinsic metallic inclusions” a piece of metal in the mix that doesn&#039;t melt for whatever the reason, and gets included in the sheet,gets punched out and voila!....
