This is definitely cleaned...Can it get worse?

Talk about the worst job ever.

Pointed 5's are quite rare, but without proof, I don't think it's rare.

Don't forget, with this bad cleaning job, you get 95% off!

    Yes, it is a pointed 5. But there are two varities of point 5 - small beads and large beads. The small bead pointed 5 is worth about 75c in AU, the large bead pointed 5 about $10.00 in AU

    Yes, it could have been a U.S. coin...

    Remember a blunt 5 is NEARLY square, which means it has a point.

    I have 4 1965's, and some appear to be nearly square and others not. As a newbie, I am afraid to declare one as a point.
