cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 06/27/2013 10:07 pm Here is an example of the 2 attributes I look for when determining if a 1965 cent is blunt or pointed. The first of course is the end of the horizontal bar of the 5. It can be a bit tricky as most of the ends are angled to some extent. If you also factor in that PMD can cause the end to appear to be more pointed then it actually is. That is why I always check the top part of the loop of the 5. For the "pointed 5" variety it will come more to a point then for the "blunt 5" which will be more horizontal. Have a look at the pic below to see what I mean. It helps me greatly to use both the attributes to determine if a pic of a coin is actually a pointed 5. I hope it will help a few members out if they have questions on a particular coin. (Image of the Pointed 5 is mine. Borrowed the pic of the blunt 5 from the internet. I did not have a blunt 5 pic handy) Edited by cladhunter13 06/27/2013 10:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 11:32 am Cladhunter Thanks for the tip. It's hard to figure out when you don't have a pointed to compare with. I'm still searching. Report this Post to the Staff
doctorman1941 Pillar of the Community Canada 504 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 2:46 pm Stay away from this seller as he can be nasty as I told him he was selling a blunt 5 instead of the pointed one.He told me to stay from his auctions and at the end he said ---- off.Some sellers on ebay are just new sellers and they really do not know any better but he does hoping to get another sucker. One guy had a pointed 5 for sale and it was a maple leaf. I sent him a scan of a pointed 5 nickel and he cancelled his auction. Report this Post to the Staff
doctorman1941 Pillar of the Community Canada 504 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 3:56 pm That should be a 1947 nickel dot and he was selling a 47 maple leaf that he cancelled. Sorry for the confusion. Report this Post to the Staff

dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 9:41 pm I reported the auction. But the reporting system doesn't seem to want context these days. Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 9:43 pm I just noticed that same seller sold a 1955 NSF penny about 2 months ago for over $200 and it isn't the NSF. It's the common type and the buyer left good feedback. Report this Post to the Staff
brexzz1 Valued Member Canada 348 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 10:28 pm Seller is outright trying to scam people. He knows the 1965 penny he has listed is a blunt 5. It blows me away that people like this are allowed to continue to sell on ebay? Just plain garbage! Report this Post to the Staff
middross Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 10:37 pm Someone could buy the coin and open a claim that the item was never received. Get the money back and the seller can't resell it. Report this Post to the Staff
brexzz1 Valued Member Canada 348 Posts	Posted 07/21/2013 10:49 pm He has multiple 1965 blunt 5's he has already sold about 10 claiming they were pointed 5's Some left negative some positive feedback. I assume the ones who left positive just dont know. He tried to convince me that the coin I received was pointed 5. Report this Post to the Staff
