The nickel shows a "strike-through" error. It was possibly struck through grease or a related form of die fill. The 1965 cent is awesome. It's a saddle strike (tandem strike) on an already-struck cent, and both off-center strikes are weak. Can you provide a photo of the reverse face?

The proof will show on the reverse. If it is - WOW.

Gorgeous. Slabbing would make sense if you ever want to sell it, simply to assure less knowledgeable buyers that this unusual-looking error is genuine. Otherwise I don't see any benefit. The grading service will most likely omit mention of the weak nature of the saddle strike, which is one of its most attractive features.

I'm no dealer, so any estimate I provide should be regarded with a degree of skepticism. I'd say it would sell for between $500 and $750.
