nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15386 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 07:22 am again. First - let's work on your photo presentation. I don't know what you are doing but the black and white checkerboard look is distracting. Experiment with your set-up until you can get a single full shot of both sides of the coin in the post. The CCF has a 'Support and Testing' forum for that so go find it and play around some until you get it. Your coin is the initial year of clad issues, replacing 90% silver coins from 1964 and prior. It is common as dirt with over 1.6 Billion minted. Thats over 1,600,000,000 coins with this date if you like to see all the zeros. Figure for yourself if that is 'rare and valuable'. I say it's worth 10 cents. It's apparent by your initial posts that you are an enthusiastic beginner and that's great. Give yourself a big lesson and purchase a 2023 copy of the Red Book of US coins. Look up any coins of interest for yourself for basic info and come to us with any specific questions. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 08:57 am What is special is you can't tell where it was made! As part of the change-over, the law was changed to allow the mint to use any of its facilities to make the coins without using a mintmark. The law was changed back for the 1968 coins. That makes 1965-1967 "special". But because of the huge quantities, even almost 60 years later it's not worth over face. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 12:51 pm 2.27g is normal weight so yours is well within tolerance. I find 1965 dimes and quarters in change very often and toss them back into circulation. Is there some "get rich from pocket change" thing about this year that I'm not aware of? Is it the weak IN and WE that makes you think it's valuable? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94672 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 4:55 pm Also to note that 1964 to 1967 the mint did not have any mint marks on the coins, no matter which mint produced them. This was done to help prevent hoarding of coins, during this transitional time when the coins were changing from silver to clad. and yes, please try to post up an image of the obverse then the reverse in separate images, no need for this fancy mosaic tiling.

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 5:48 pm Prime real estate for the '65 is IF it's in Mint State condition and then I think it would be difficult to find a buyer. It's a great start for a set of Roosevelt's or as a nice whole filler. Keep up your spirit and enjoy! Report this Post to the Staff
