I don't collect newer cents but found the phtos of this coin interesting. It looks to me that it easier to tell from the "tail" of the 5. For a pointed 5, is nearly flat/level. For the blunt, the tail is down at an angle from horizontal. Maybe my eyes are bad, but that's what it looks like to me.

@okiecoiner, good eye, I didn't even notice the tail. Now I'm back to thinking mine is a pointed 5 lol. This is a tough one for me, and even the pros it seems lol. So mayb this is P5 LD

@ rockey I'm not seeing a collar clash, as for doubling idk I didn't look. Not even 100% where I put this one. Think it's mixed with my other 65s

I see the rim issue your talking about rocky, isn't that just from a slightly misaligned die?

Most definitely NOT a collar clash. That is a very small Rim Fin. Usually caused by excessive pressure on a very slightly tilted die.

 when I first joined I wouldn't have said double rim lol, but definitely no collar clash, if I had Johnwayne's equipment I'd show better shots, but is a decent pointed 5 large beads cent:). I dream of suger plums but have yet to find one lol. I'll happily take a good variety though. I have several 1953 NSF and I think one 1954 SF, so a decent 1965 pointed large beads is a nice addition. Thought this is the first I've found. I was recently looking through 66 and 85 1¢ I have I may have more then one. |

@rockey, thanks I use a magnifying app for my phone for my close ups,takes a steady hand. My phone's camera is also really good for my phone. I have one of the first google phone's I think, so it is probably about 5-8 years old idk. I know some iphones have crazy camera quality but I'm not an apple fan.

The coin is a blunt 5 and small beads. I had 2 mint bags that I went through, and the coin posted had a small angle the same as most of mine but no points like the graded one above that is a true point.

Just looked at your large scan and it looks like a point as most of mine had a little angle but not pointed like your coin.

Lol this coin. Seems very split opinions. I have fine through many more 65s and I do believe I have 2 pointed 5s but the biggest issue I'm having like with my 1949s is being able to tell if the A lines up with a denticle.

I'm 99% at this point it's a pointed 5 and large bead. No gem but a nice find, I think I have 2, I have a 2985 pointed laying around somewhere but list track of it. I'll be picking up a big table today for my coins so I can sort them out better.
