looks like the coin was elongated manually..There is a process to do this ..I seen it done to pennies in Niagara Falls..The machine they use can manipulate the metal to what ever shape you want.. Just my opinion but I say PMD

Absolutely PMD IMO. Funny looking though.

I'm 99.9% sure that's fake but it'd be cool if this was an actual error. The "modification" is pretty convincing though, instead of the usual "Post-Mint" we see are pretty lousy however this one seems to have literally an entire portion of the coin stretched including the devices and lettering. If similar certified errors existed I'd be inclined to believe that it was legitimate.

I would stay away from this seller. He was on an earlier post (I can't remember where) about manipulating lighting to hide scratches on his coins and then blames buyer.
Just read some of his neutral feedbacks.

Seller does have a lot of complaints..I cant see any way that could happen especially on both sides after strike. IMO

I wouldn't buy this damaged coin. Even the reeded area looks squashed.
