Improper alloy mixture, some said on other coin sites, could be a matte proof [URL=http://s1296.photobucket.com/user/stash38/media/A002-20121231_1110452-horz_zps47231f19.jpg.html]

Matte proof ... sure ... it could also be a presentation piece given to Kaiser Wilhelm that he used to buy a vanilla soda while visiting New York City during one of his wild vacations.

Indeed an improper alloy mixture.....Very common on Lincoln's, especially pre 1940.
Often referred to as a wood-grain planchet.

Not a lamination error

Yep it is a wood grain alloy mix issue and as stated very common on early Lincolns. They look cool though and can get some very neat patterns.
