There's no 5.

"There is no spoon."
"There's no spoon?"
"Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself."

 

Wasn't it Uri Geller who used to "melt" a spoon in half on TV with only his fingers?

Then on the Tonight Show, Johnny Carson took away Geller's previously prepared "fake" spoon and gave him a normal spoon and told him to "do his thing" and of course he couldn't do it.

 

I'm not hilusitating I can see the five just like I know u can

 

There's a good video on YT, which shows him putting a magnet on his finger and manipulating a compass dial.
As for the spoon bending, I think it was also sleight of hand when he didn't appear to be manipulating the spoon, but he was.

 

Lol now that's funny I'm a musician I can take an E and put a five there I wish I could do that

 

If you study the minting and die making processes, you'll easily understand that it is not possible for for the E to be replaced with a 5 on the die. Can't happen, no way, no how. The answers you received are The correct explanation. It is damage and that damage just happens to resemble a 5. Copper is a soft metal and can be easily displaced by a hit.

 

I see a slightly misshapen E, not a 5. It looks like it may be from a worn out die, and additionally took a hit from something damaging it. Doesn't look like a 5 to me.

 

If you believe it to truly be a "5", submit it to PCGS or NGC for error grading. Post photos of the slab when you get it back. I'll be here with my popcorn and coke.

 

It’s quite simple, E + hit = 5 ;-)

hilusitating? that’s a new one.

 

I can't see it either.

 

Unfortunately it looks like the E is just damage.

Now the “0” in GOD, I can see that plain as day.

 

My personal observation...

 

the "what is this" is light reflection.
In photography, to minimize "hot spots" you want to diffuse (or reflect) your light and not just use a bare light.

edit: this is a bit better ==> https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/portrait-lighting.htm

Hot Spots are areas in which are much brighter and reflect light from the light source, right to the sensor. (like when you point a flashlight to a mirror - you no longer see the area of mirror just your light). When too bright these areas are very bright and lose detail when one attempts to lower the brightness to show the hidden detail, which is "blown out" from the brightness. You can also search info related to your camera sensors Dynamic Range.

 

The lower left side of the E was hit and being soft metal it was displaced to the lower right side causing the appearance of a 5. It's damaged and worth a cent.

Here's a picture of the back looks like lettering on the back

 

I don't see anything out of the ordinary on the reverse, where are you seeing lettering?
