SelectCoinCanada Valued Member Canada 414 Posts	Posted 05/01/2019 2:17 pm Your pictures are taken on a slight angle so it's hard to tell but they could be blunt 5. The 1965 variety is tough because they both look pointed, it should be 'pointed' and 'pointier' 5. The pictures on coinsandcanada.ca are not easily distinguished...use this picture instead. Pointed on the left, blunt on the right. Edited by SelectCoinCanada 05/01/2019 2:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CityofKooks Valued Member Canada 278 Posts	Posted 05/01/2019 3:54 pm Good information. I've looked at the other pennies that are blunt and these definitely fit the "pointier" quality. It's very tricky Report this Post to the Staff
