Ocitown, it means nothing if a seed has stripes or spots or lacks them. Brown or grey seeds, with or without spots or stripes, are most likely to be viable. A seed that is green, white, black, or crackles when rolled between your fingers most likely is not viable.
I have also found that seeds that do not sink from the soak method sometimes sprout, so I don't consider that a "test" of a seed's viability. Soaking for 24 hours allows the seed to soak up a lot of water and get going with germination.
