Yes, this is a slight Greaser. This area is a very common spot for grease to show. The "extra arm" on the reverse I believe is just a small die chip making it look like a second left arm of Abe. I better close-up might tell us more.  |

OF is just weakly struck. It is directly opposite the high relief bust of Lincoln. Not a Greaser. The "extra Lincolns" and the spike under the R appear to be plating bubbles. Bubbles between the zinc core and the copper plating are extremely common on 80s and 90s cents. |

It is impossible to have extra statues unless they are on the die in which case all the coins struck would have them.
What you have are plating bubbles that are giving that illusion. The spikes are linear plating bubbles.

@lh, a really good way to check for plating bubbles is to try to depress them with the end of a wooden toothpick.

"S OF" and "US" under it is the most common area where grease accumulates on Grease Filled Dies on Lincoln cents. Not weakly struck. |
