    I would think with heat there would be some discoloration. This could easily be done on a punch press.

    Not necessarily.

    Edited to add: The cleaner the flame, the less discoloration.

    Looks like Roosevelt has the mumps. Just kidding. Most probably it is due to some form of fire abuse or hazzard.

    How would a punch press produce a rise on both sides of a coin?

    Oven heated. Direct flame would discolor.

    What's wrong with them?

    They're screwed up due to some kind of post mint damage.
