Waffle face queen on 1964 Nickel

Interesting coin I thought I would share.

Can a waffle iron do this? Any chance this happened at the mint while the coin was hot?

Don't know. I could have been some type of punch. Definitely post-mint

It is definitely damage, possibly from a vise.
There is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin.
