1965 Double 65...pointed 5?

still looks blunt to me. just because of the extra metal doesn't make it pointed. the extra metal is still blunt.

Blunt 5, with doubled 65. Tough coin to find, my best one is MS-63 Red. To date, all the doubled 5, doubled 65 and doubled 1965 coins I have found have been Type II varieties (small beads, blunt 5).

Here is a pic of a pointed 65 I have. I hope it helps.




Another thing to look for when looking for the "pointed 5" variety is to pay attention to the top bar of the opening of the five. I have it circled in this next picture. It will be at a sharper angle and comes more to a point then on the "blunt 5". Have a look and compare it to the Blunt 5 picture at the top of the post. I hope that helps a bit.

an excellent example;
