1953-S error coin?

I have a 1953 circulated wheat penny the top of the five is enclosed with copper. It looks like small a drop of copper filled in the top of the 5. Any one seen one?

It could be a die chip but we can only guess without a photo.

 

Sounds like a "filled 5", also refered to as a nicely placed die chip or "cud". It is moderately common in the Wheat Cent series and adds no additional value to your coin.

Yep, sounds like a die chip!

Just as I had expected.

As beat up as that coin is, it's probably PMD.

 

Hello jnilsen,

Your coin appears to have a die chip at the date. It is interesting but it will not add much value to the worn coin.

Here is a link to a previous thread depicting several cents with die chips. I believe the thread lists one dated 1953-S which is the same date as yours.
