I have seen brown / orange-brown striped patterns frequently on bronze coins offered online. Example above!

Does anyone know what the cause of this could be? Is it considered a problem?

I think it has to do with the alloys in the metals not being right some how

@hp, if you search the US modern variety and error subforum with the keyword WOODY, you will see many examples of this from the mints over here.

Yes, alloy issues. They can be very prominent.
