Pics are a bit blurry. From what I see...I agree with SPP. Blunt 5.

It's definitely a Large Beads, Blunt 5 variety. I find a better indicator of which 5 you have (instead of examining the upper right tip) is shown below. If the portions of the 5 between the red and blue arrows are the same thickness, it's a pointed 5. If the thickness between the red arrows is noticeably larger than between the blue arrows, it's a blunt 5.  The photos here show this nicely: http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-pri...nt-1965-2012 |

When determining lg or sm beads I have heard 2 things. if there space between II of quessn elizabeth II points to a bead then it is a large and also if the A in regina points to a bead it is lg....well this shows that someone is flawed. counted beads dont lie.

A to the right of a large bead.
A to the left of a small bead is more accurate for bead size.
That's how I look at the last a in gratia.

That's how I look at the last a in gratia. Bm0ney's statement is probably the most accurate description of how to differentiate small/large bead 1965 pennies using the final A in GRATIA. "A to the right of large bead" is also described as "A points to bead" and "A to the left of small bead" is also described as "A points between beads". Quote:

SpawkI would say it is LARGE bead POINTED 5 variety.

I also think its a pointed 5, large beads. After looking at some other ones I have, the tip of the 5 really stands out almost to a 45 degree angle.

SpawkI have drawn a line on the end of the 5 on the picture I created with the software I use and it does look about 45%...But, hey I am by no means and expert...Just my opinion.  Look at the real pointed and blunt 5's...Yours is very, very close.

@laureatebust, the "A To the right large and A to the left small" is the way I look at the 65 one cent beads. The A to or between doesn't seem quite right but it is used often. I better throw in a too In the original picture in this post the bottom of the vertical part of the 5 makes it look like a blunt 5. Edited by Bm0ney

A better photo would be an easier method to resolve this...

Hey SpawkSPP is absolutely correct...There are 2 camps with conflicting ideas, a GOOD picture would help, and make it as close up as possible....I would be interested in the out come of this mystery...  |
