In numismatics, a mule is a coin or medal minted with obverse and reverse designs not normally seen on the same piece. These can be intentional or produced by error. This type of error is highly sought after, and examples can fetch steep prices from collectors.

In this particular example COOP gave you, the Wheat cent was discontinued in 1958 and should not be on the reverse.

A 1958 should be a wheat reverse. I don't believe any 1958 are known with a memorial reverse.
