There are no 1965 cents with mint marks. They were all made this way.

Looks like an early stage dryer coin . The weight should be normal.

The U.S. mint system stopped putting mint marks on coins in 1965 to discourage collectors from taking more coins out of circulation, There was a coin shortage at the time, the mint officials blamed collectors for a lot of the problem.

Weight 3.09 g so @Greenstang good call. Any value to these type of coins?

Absolutely NOT EVER. "Spooning" can be intentionally done to any number of coins that you wish if you have the patience. It is Post Mint Damage.

"Any value"? Well, the arts-and-crafts crowd might find an artistically damaged coin to be of interest, but not coin collectors.

As a general rule, post-mint damage is never "valuable", simply because literally anyone can create post-mint damage from a perfectly normal coin, making something similar if they have the tools, the talent and the time. Mint errors and varieties are valuable because their production is restricted: they can only happen in the mint while the coin is being made, and their numbers are further restricted by the mint's quality control systems detecting and eliminating many such errors before they escape the mint.

If you could routinely turn a normal 1 cent coin into a $5 coin just by whacking it a few times with a hammer or running over it with a lawnmower, everybody would be doing it - and if everybody did it the bubble would burst as it would quickly become apparent that such coins had no actual value.
