What type of error is this? 2 2

[MichaelMMcoin]

So I have this 1966 Lincoln Cent. The Head of Lincoln is much wider and taller than other cents. It seems like the coin has been stretched somehow. Also the coin appears to have more than one strike on the reverse. Could someone please help to identify this error? The coin weighs 3.1 grams

Here is a better picture

Not an error of any kind.  The coin has just been flattened in some way.  I can't make any comment on the reverse  with no picture.

Agree

Not an error of any kind. There is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin. The cent  has been flattened somehow. Maybe a picture of the reverse might tell us more.

Still just smooshed somehow!

I see something in this coin's past. It seems to be an industrial place, yessss, a machine shop perhaps. Wait! Why are they taking this poor coin near a rolling machine? No, no, keep it away. Don't do that.... Aaaaaaaaah!!!

I hope Just Bob is watching.  This is one of his creations (the vintage sounds about right) produced when a Long Island Rail Road commuter train flattened it on the now abandoned spur to Rockaway Beach during his formative years.  Such exemplars differ from the traditional rolled out specimens in that they are usually unevenly struck while in motion due to the vibration of the rail. A talisman now with great sentimental value.

It's just a damaged cent.

And now, you know what the INSIDE of roadkill looks like!

Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are

You got your
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven

Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose
Roll up yer window and hold your nose
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

You got your
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
And it's stinkin' to high heaven

Yeah you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog
On a moonlight night you got your dead toad frog
Got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon

You got your
Dead skunk in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven

C'mon stink
You got it
It's dead, it's in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven
All over the road, technicolor man
Oh, you got pollution
It's dead, it's in the middle
And it's stinkin' to high, high heaven

Why --- that's what the choir sang a last Sunday's-Go-To-Meetin' revival. Just before the "free offering" and sheep skinnin' contest.

It looks like a "choo-choo" error, in that it only got about half of it.
