I think I've heard of these referred to as "woodies" when this type of thing appears in large cents.

I found these two in the same roll while hunting yesterday. "Birds of a feather", ey?"

What's going on with these or any other coin that exhibits such a pattern? I have also seen something similar in Buffalo and Jefferson nickels. Maybe something to do with the copper mix?

Yes, they're woodies. See the explanation by biokemist6 in this thread.

Very nice ! I call them exceptional 'Woodies."
There is something wrong in the copper mix that does this. I believe.
Great find.
