yelnif,

From what I'm told by the experts, sometime the metal of the coin stretches and the hit portion remains attached but relocated, but sometimes the portion that got hit if there is any detachment can get sorta glued pretty well in place by elements of the coin's environment over many years in circulation or being in the ground, e.g. a combination of dirt, body oil, and any other thing that can act as an adhesive, and in that case the affected portion maybe has only one solid attachment point after the hit, but probably not as delicate as "hanging on by a thread" since it is metal and still rather strong.

AU Seeker,

That makes sense to me but in the case of this upside down/ rotated "5" I think it was more deliberate than a chance hit.

yelnif,

That was also a possibility suggest by the experts, that someone with the required skills altered the coin.

I think if that was the case this coin would of never been lost, but instead been sold as a new error coin, but when it comes to something like a date error coin that is in circulation, or most all error coins there is never just one made before the error is discovered.

If someone with the skills and knowledge to produce a fake error did this they would of made more than one and there would be others out there, even if they were acknowledged as fakes.

though it is still done ALOT just ask all the people duped into buying a 1932d quarter to find out it was made in Philly and the D was added later to get the key date premium.

Not sure whats going on here, not just the "5" looks under the start of a "6" but the 2 really looks like the wrong font used on the 52 dies notice the start of the 2 where the flat part is facing, maybe just wear but IDK you can see the complete 5 seems to be under the "6" mark so I would say its just a die imperfection cracked grease or whatever but only way to be sure is to pony up the time and money to get it to a proffesional.

how could a 60's memorial cent be restamped on a 50's wheat back I can see that type of error on say a 57 and 58 but nine years later they would decide to restamp a copper coin on a old die vs melt it down and make a new one? Oh and you can mark on you pcgs or ngc order for not to be slabbed if it does not meet grade or certain criteria but you still pay. I do it all the time when a new release comes out, send in a few rolls only slab MS-63 and up or whatever. You also have may have to pay extra to "find an error" vs a typical grading. Whatever you decide I would get it into the hands and eyes of somebody that knows what to look for. Check for local coin shop, clubs or a show coming to a town near you. Then decide if its worth sending in to be certified and/or graded.
