Here is my favorite improper alloy copper, never seen one quite like it before, but I'm sure there are other out there!

to the CCF I can't see it as a woody. Don't know what to call it, maybe a splotchy.

Very cool looking but would kinda have to agree with Silvio on this one. I do not think it's a woody or even toning but something that is on the coin in some areas and a BU coin underneath. I say soak in acetone and see what happens.

So in your title, are you looking for other woody or woody like coins? I have a couple, as I'm sure others do.

A close look seems as if the brown color is gritty if so, then I think it is stain from environmental.
