Hi Rick, A neat little error. Your cent was struck on a "thick planchet". My guess is the zinc is showing thru on the rims because the...
This is quite a common thing as far as war era cents go. The planchets were so hard on the dies that the dies wore out quickly and in most cases...
Nice little finds! Congrats....

Thanks Speedy. I rate SEGS at the top of the list for me. I have over 200 dies in SEGS holders and continue to submit to them....
Sent a few nickel varieties into CONECA for attribution and ended up with 7 new discoveries out of a 20 coin lot. Here are the results: 1940-S...
My guess would be that those medals are so common that it's value would be substantially reduced from wear and probably worth about $10 now...
