1885 Canada 5 cent - Overdate?

Got a couple of fishscales and when looking for 5/5 varieties on the 1885 under my microscope noticed something going on with the 5, but it doesn't look like anything that I've found a picture of. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    The coin has great detail, probably a Vf or a little better...unfortunately it's been hit and is slightly wavy

    Gene is correct. ( add that it is a Narrow Date)
    It is actually a coin which shows up once in a while.
    but nice find..and I bet you are a happy camper.
