a larger picture and a higher resolution one at that is needed. From what I can tell the shape of that 5 is quite common. I've recently spent a lot of time pouring over 1965 cents.
There were two different reverse dies used in 1965 - one with a pointed 5 and one with a blunt 5. It's not a die error. Yours looks like it could be a pointed 5, but I can't confirm.
