No @pris, it wouldn't have been minted like this. It looks like the coin took an upwards-directed hit between the letters B and E and "smushed" them a little.

When they all look like that, they are common die examples.

Not entirely. It appears the B and E on your coin have been slightly distorted by circulation damage, as Spence notes.
