Weird shape of "0" of 1960 date

Have a look at this, I was re-photographing my coins and saw this anomaly on a 1960 nickel. The letters on the word "Canada" look a little thick and wonky too. PMD or new variety?

It has taken a hit distorting and flattening the letters and number.
Just a damaged coin.
