 to the CCF Looks like it was caused by heat damage. We have been seeing a few of these lately.

I'm on-board with heat damage--perhaps caused by someone with a hobby grade butane torch. We do see these time and again on the forum.

 heat was applied to cause the bubble you see. (The cladding is separated from the copper core)

So would this be considered a error coin? I would think that if it happened while in circulation the metals would have some discoloration to them from the extreme heat!

No, this would not be a Mint error coin. Just post mint damage. whether intentional or not, it is just a damaged coin.

Either heat or hit with a metal object

A wrecked car doesn't make it more valuable does it? Same for coins. The better mint condition coin are worth more. Not the wrecked ones. If damaged coins were worth more than normal coins, there would not be any change.

 to the CCF and  . The damage could have happened any time in the last 35 years. Then it was polished through circulation to the original color.
