OK I'll try to be gentle. In order for error coins to be of real value, and I say this a lot on this site, they should be dramatic errors on coins that have little circulation. Your con has minor uniqueness and is well circulated. As such there's no added value that I see. Actually the five seems to be filled more than the mint mark.This could also result from wear and soiling.

1951 S wheat penny. Mint mark error? I’m a beginner so take it easy on me.

Just an old cent!
