need help from the expert s on this 2006 penny

[retiredcopper]

Found this penny while roll searching. The first thing that caught my eye was the extra thickness of Lincoln’s jacket on the left as well as additional folds in his shirt. The reverse has what could be a brockage error, but most likely a post minting addition. Finally, there appears to be part of a date stamped across the word liberty. My main question concerns the extra thickness of the jacket and the additional folds in the shirt. Is this some kind of error? Thanks for any help you can give me.

It is manufactured outside of the mint by someone who has too much time on their hands. This link will give you more information.

“Squeeze Job” or “Vice Job” or Garage Job”

I agree with BJ... Squeeze job by someone overly bored

Here is another example I have in the glossary here.

Garage Job: Also called a squeeze job, vice job, or hammer job, this is intentional post-strike damage when a coin is smashed against another coin or object, usually in an attempt to make it look like a genuine mint error. When squeezed or smashed against another coin, a mirror-image in reverse relief of each coin’s devices will transfer onto the other. Below you can see a mirrored incuse LIBERTY on the coin as the result of being pressed into another cent.
