The streakiness is caused by the metals not being mixed together properly. Here is one of mine,The grading companies don't like the streaking much from what I've read but I like it.

The bias the TPG's give to luste and the penalties they apply for streaking quite often result in coins with little eye appeal garnering high grades and lower graded coins being more attractive. Give me a glossy bag mark free MS66BN penny over a baggy blotchy MS65RD penny any day of the week. Report this Post to the Staff
