    The down slash in the 5 of the date has a tail. And the date is doubled.

    Its looks like a multiple misaligned die clash and Multiple Counter-Clash but I need to see the whole cent first obverse and reverse it is similar to the one I just found a 1993 Lincoln I been researching it for the last 5 hours haha

    Grab a q-tip and try to push the S off the coin. It is either an added S as swamp yankee mentioned, or it's a very interesting doubling.

    Ha. I soaked this coin in acetone along with several thousand others, about 6 or 7 years ago, and put it away. I collected all of these out of ciculation while in a retail buisness for 20 years.

    When I would see it was a wheat I would put it in my watch pocket and take it home. I sometimes got 3 or 4 a day. I recently pulled them all out and, without examining them much, sorted them by date. This one stood out when examining the date.

    I do believe if it stayed on this long, it's not going anywhere.
