Yep
Just may be genuine and badly damaged. Cannot make out the orientation of the letters on the second strike.
indeed
I might have to respectfully disagree. The flattening of the first strike's details seems to have occurred prior to the second strike, and I am not able to envision how this damage could have been inflicted in the blink of an eye that exists between a strike #1 and a strike #2.
If there are other interpretations I would be happy to consider them....
Nothing more to add

Of course the coin was not damaged at the mint between strikes!!! Something not even to be considered.
Either the piece is a genuine damaged coin that someone added a "fake" off center strike to OR it is a genuine error that was damaged after it was made. The second strike looks perfectly normal and undamaged. There is no evidence of the damage seen on the first strike into the surface of the second.

I believe so.
Multiple clogged die errors are rare. First i've seen and def needs a third opinion.
The coin itself is genuine. 1973 is the only year where the Designer's Initials "FG" appear so large.
I always considered 1973 Lincoln Cents to be a one year Type Coin.
