Wheat cents minted during the 1950s were subject to numerous errors resulting from filled or broken dies, so it's doubtful your coin is worth very much.
A filled-die error happens when grease or other crud gets into one of the tiny spaces that form a coin's raised letters and numbers. The crud prevents metal from flowing properly so that letter or number may be weak or even blank. After a few coins are struck the crud gets knocked out of the die and the remaining coins from that die are normal.
Most filled-die errors aren't too valuable but some of the more spectacular ones can sell for quite a bit. One of the most famous is the legendary 1922 "plain" cent. All pennies were minted at Denver that year but a filled die blanked out the "D" mint mark on a handful. The word plain is used to distinguish them from Philadelphia cents which of course have never had a mint mark.
A broken-die error is sort of opposite; the metal of the die fragments in the region of a letter or number. A common error among late-date "wheaties" happened when dies repeatedly suffered cracks between the letters B and E in LIBERTY, resulting in coins that appeared to have "LIBIERTY" on them.
