Alloy mixing problem - new purchase.

There was a prior thread where the surface of some coins appeared woodgrain due to poor mixing of the alloy prior to planchet prep. I found this the other day. PCGS MS63RB coin. A toned bronze cent that had alloy mixing issues. The differences in composition led to some interesting toning of this coin.
