1980 Lincoln Cent a mint error or PMD "hammer" coin?

This is where I am confused. The "IBE" under LIBERTY are not backwards. Shouldn't those 3 letters be backwards if a cent was overlayed onto it and were hammered/viced? Also, the 3 extra letters ("IBE") are not incuse, they are raised devices.
Maybe a Prior die break and a strike-through with fragment? The letters are correctly orientated in that "fragment" section. Who knows.

The bend in the coin is the telling factor, it couldn't have been bent out of shape if this happened during striking.

Turn the coin 180° - then it will read EBI.

I'd hammer in the evening, all of those pennies.

The E would then be backwards. [Not that I'm saying this is anything but damage. ]
