    Marks are the building stretched out of shape from the coin that stuck to the die.

    After some research, the coin is most likely:

    "On the mid stage brockage the image tends to spread out even more and the "cap" has thinned enough to allow the obverse design to begin showing through but the reverse design still dominates. On later stages the reverse and obverse designs may both show but the obverse design eventually progress to a point that it dominates and simply looks like it was struck through something like aluminum foil. The date can often be detected at this point".

    Thanks
