Need help on this 1962D Penny with totally unique date

[N-7370]

Hi Folks,

I've been through a friend's hoard of pennies and came upon this 1962D that leapt out at me because of the shape of the "6" in the date. The tail on the six stands straight up and the loop seems compressed. In addition there is the shadow of a regular tail on the six behind the upright tail. In addition, on the reverse of the coin it appears there was a strike-through of perhaps a twisted wire that cut the upper left of the monument and took out most of the Band the U in Pluribus. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated. thanks,

Mike

Here are a couple pictures of the Reverse.

In my opinion, the obverse shows additional damage towards the north and east. Once the coins hit circulation, you must take into account that this can be post mint damage - damage occurred in circulation. It looks smeared. It was probably used as a shim, or in a vise or something under pressure. That additional dent is in close proximity to the date, probably happened at the same time.

The reverse is post mint damage. It is probably related to the damage on the obverse. The reverse looks like it was under pressure, and rotated clockwise. Then it severely damaged the memorial building as it moved.

Thanks! I was wondering that no similar errors were on record!
