Note the raised distortion on the coin. It was damaged after it was struck. The moved metal is the clue.

So no chance it was Struck multiple times..especially with it lined up from reverse to obverse with the same looking situation

Yeah, smashed and smeared metal brought to you by road rashing can do strange things to metal... |

Just one of the many marks on your coin turns it into a cull coin. Just a face value coin. (copper melt though)

You have to look at it like when you gouge a coin the gouged-out metal has to go somewhere. So, it is raised on the surface.

find an undamaged cent, drop it on the road or sidewalk, press down on it with your foot, drag the cent across the pavement, voila road rash

Post-strike damage, coin didn't exit the striking chamber in that condition. Copper is a relatively soft metal and can be shaped in many interesting ways as it is struck, dragged across rough surfaces, etc.

Last two I swear so instead of the Columns rotate the memorial 90° and get multiple strikes   |

Looks like this coin was on the ground, like pavement or rough concrete, and something heave slid on it several timed creating these gouges.

Absolutely no chance this happened during minting. I would suggest studying the minting process and learn how errors occur. It will save you lots of time if you know what to look for.
