Welcome to CT @RichGame. As already mentioned, it appears to be a coin subjected to high temperatures, distorting the surfaces, but certainly a nice conversation piece. I'd sure hang on to it. Good pocket coin.

 

Thanks for the quick response guys! Curious how the original shine and luster remains after such high temperatures I mean I went red hot with this one

 

Watched a video someone uses a true blow torch and now makes sense Unfortunately I can be a see it to believe it guy occasionally

 

My collection begins with these, a small start let’s see where it goes

 

Likely one of the small handheld butane torches for silver soldering. Gets to around 2400 degree F. Jim
