1941... this is a low mintage NFLD 1-cent, with one of the largest Cuds I have seen in Canadian-struck coins...

I haven't seen many German coins posted, so here is one from the war-era Third Reich. A 1940-G 1 Reichsfhennig - Zn - minted in Karlsruhe, as indicated by the "G" mint-mark. The "G" mint actually produced the lowest number of the 1 Reichspfennig coins during 1940, coming out at around 20,165,000 total mintage as opposed to the Berlin mint cranking out a startling 223,948,000. It is extremely uncommon to find these war-era German coins without Zinc rot. Just being exposed to the atmosphere causes Zn to begin oxidizing. The Zn rot is a bit amplified in these pictures, and IMO it kind-of adds to the character of the coin.
