Sorry for questions. I found mint defect coins. Is it rare or common for Italy coins. May be some collector observed same type. Share please any info about it. Same weight as normal coin. Thanks

Looks like maybe someone heated it up to try and melt it partially, or it was in a house fire and was saved before completely melting into a blob. Either way I don’t think it’s a mint error, and it certainly doesn’t add any value.

Aluminum coin definitely heated some way. Small gas pockets expanded in the heat an blistered the soft aluminum.
