Nope, sorry. Just a damaged coin with Post Strike Damage ( PSD). Not an error coin. Spendable, since it's just a damaged coin.
Errers and Varietys.

Slag inclusion These planchets are the product of impurities that gather at the top or bottom of molten metal. When the ingots are poured, slag may become imbedded in the metal and later become part of a planchet. Slag is usually harder than the alloy and strikes up poorly. Slag is darker than the alloy, often black.
Wasnt talking about the damage

Just a damaged coin. It is copper if you saving copper coins. If not, it is just a spender.

No this is just a environmentally toned (black) coin with shiny worn edges and devices... it is circulation damage. It is pretty beat up... throw it back ;)

Heated with a lighter/torch/painted/found outdoors. So many things can happen. Never a good thing.

Yes could have been heated enough to get crispy but not molten.
