The date is either due to Die Deterioration (which shows on IGWT as well - stretching of the letters toward the rim) or Machine Doubling (MD). Neither are errors.

On the reverse, you have a couple of die chips on the wheat stalks.

This is a die wear issue. The 1950's Wheat cent dies were used beyond normal retirement. Thus all the breakdown seen on the cents struck by them. The rest of the devices also look beat as well.
