Is this an error?

Found this interesting Kennedy today , not quite sure if this is post mint damage, or perhaps the damage happened during minting? Anyone has any info or opinion?
Who put a hole in Kennedy's face...

My opinion is someone hit it with a punch. Purely damage.

Imo someone is a pretty good shot with a BB gun

The damage to the face is nothing but that looks like a double die.
Look at the date and the D in God, it's doubled. It is a typical 74 double die.
Sweet find!

I think that's an artifact of the lighting - it does not appear to be a doubled die to me. I see some machine doubling in the date, but that's not worth anything.
