What is wrong with this 82P dime?

    Can someone tell me what is going on with this 82P Roosevelt dime? It looks like Roosevelt has a huge goiter on the neck on the obverse and another giant bubble on the reverse above the "ONE" in the "ONE DIME". Normally I would think PMD but I photographed the coin without rotation and there is no impact mark on the opposite side of these large bubbles in the coin where it might have been bumped out by a punch or something, instead there is no dent at all on the opposite sides. Has anyone seen this before?

    It is heat damage, precise and intense, like you'd see from a torch. Here's a link to a thread I started about a similar coin, and some pics below.

    I usually burn my paper trash and this is how they look after i find them in the ashes later on. the heat builds up between the clad layers and makes bubbles between the layers of metal.
