Coins like this are interesting at first glance. I agree about the high heat, an image of the reverse and it not having left the mint like that. Since it is in a small, centralized area it is probably from the torch.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
Note the rim. This should be circular. When it is altered, the coin has been damaged. Looks like as already mentioned, the heat created bubbles between the cladding and then flattened. (probably wouldn't work in a cending machine without the flattening) Collect the best, spend the rest. Damage doesn't increase value on a coin.
