Wide AM is rare on business strike cents for that year, but is standard on proof strikes like this one. That said, a proof strike is still a nice find, just not an error or variety.

@ OP - nice roll find! Impaired proof as already stated.
@ 279773 - you should start your own thread for the new coin so we can have separate discussions.

Never clean your coins, it will de-value them. Except for soaking them in pure acetone. Which you can buy from hardware store.
