I was looking at my old coin books today and found that some time in the last 56 years I inserted this one. Is it an error of some other phenomenon? I have never run into this type of strike before. Could it be a 1954? @FredWeinberg

The last number in the date (1) has damage from a coin rolling machine. Common in that era. I have a couple myself.

Copper is fairly soft and moves quite easily. If you were to take a flat blade screwdriver you could “push” the number one and make it lean left or right fairly easily.
Some coins are just plain "Interesting"1

Welcome to the forum!
1951 with post mint damage on the last 1.
Not really sure I’m ready to call mint errors “phenomenon “ 🙃
