Help!? Lamination error?

[coinfused]

I have a very odd coin. It was found years ago, and I have been trying to figure out what it is and have had no luck. Hopefully someone here can help. Thank you in advance!

Interesting coin, I think what happened is the coin was heated melting the zinc core. Zinc melts a lower temperature than copper so the zinc goes first.

I was thinking a torch was held to it. Welcome to the forum. Good Luck and Happy Hunting

Thanks for your thoughts!
Any idea why the letters are mirror image/backwards.
It's weird. The top layer that is peeling off is "heads" and under it is " tails"??

Something weird going on, but I think it's more than a torch. Is all of the metal showing the same color? If yes I would rule out the zinc core theory. Almost looks like another coin was melted to it then removed. I think someone was trying to make a fake error. Nothing like that happened during the minting process!
