What would this be called ... The mark on the 5
Is it worth anything

Looks like a die gouge to me. It's a spender. I'm no expert on what it exactly might be, but I'm sure it's worth face value.

What you have on the 5 is a Die chip and were quite common on 1956 and particularly 57 Cents.

Die chip on the 5. Very common on the 1950's Lincoln Wheat Cents.

Nice, pronounced die chip. Gotta love those '50s wheat cents.

Die chip. Very common and not worth a Premium IMOHO.

Generally for 1950's pennies, folks on ebay are looking for the die chip to be between the B and E of Liberty (BIE error). But if you search sold listing on ebay for filled number or die chip error, you will see the these do occasionally sell for a few dollars.
