Looks like it has taken a hit.
Don't know how it could be a different 5 underneath.
There is nothing in the minting process that would cause that.

I agree that this looks like light circulation wear and tear rather than doubling or a repunched date.

I agree with JimmyD--a hit on the 5.

It could also be a worn die.

You have a 5 that's been hit, moving it slightly. As JimmyD said, there is nothing in the minting process that would cause a "different 5 under it." Not worth trying to remove the tar from the obverse.

The bottom of the '5' is coin contact on that area. Just a spender.
