Now that we have seen the extreme close ups, can you zoom out a bit to give us a better perspective?

Looks normal to me. Not seeing anything unusual.

1965 cents are not plated. The head looks like it got scraped, and the blue color most likely is just toning. John1  |

Tend to agree with the comments above. Full coin photos, large and sharp, of the obverse and reverse might be worthwhile seeing.

the blue coat that is applied to this coin . its on eack side of the coin .it has like a texted pattern. this coin was been hub doubled. you can see the twist in the letters. this coin is copper and nickle plated. the metal underneath is not copper . I don't know what the metal is under that blue coat . its flat black. here is a hub doubled five . take a close look at the metal. you see copper you see nickel . you see rust and peeling plating. up near Lincoln head there is pattern underneath all the plating. its like this coin was struck before. I will see if I can photo it. check this five  |

You are reading too much into this coin. There can be all kinds of toning on copper. It's not plated it's just a normal 1965 cent.
