I have US 1 wheat penny 1966, head hair damage with a line start from above of the head with letter T of Word TRUST to letter T of word LIBERTY, this a unique us cent showing Lincoln looks like POPE wearing skull cap, as well as the line connecting between Trust and Liberty is amazing

That is a Lamination issue with the planchet.
Not too uncommon, can appear on any copper cent.
