Welcome to the forum. Normally good clear pictures are needed, but in this case I think it is safe to say you have a magician's coin. These are...
What would make you think it is a proof? I don't believe there were 1965 proof coins. Yours is a normal, but very worn, 1965 quarter.
No dye involved, but metals can tone and discolor depending on their environment.
I'm just not seeing anything like that at all.
Pretty poor pictures, but I see nothing to indicate anything out of the normal. There appears to be a lot of zinc rot and plating issues of a...
Definitely worth a LOT more in the first picture than in the second.
The first is a 1941 with a little damage. I don't see anything out of the ordinary on the 1997, I would say a couple cents each on the wheat...

Using that rationale, do an ebay search for "no mintmark" you will find dozens of common Philadelphia minted coins for sale, and even many that...
Maybe there are some people buying them for what they are, I really don't know. It really seems most are bought by people who really don't...
Wow, from those pictures and the condition, I can't even say for sure that they are coins.
Nice coin for sure, but when the man who wrote the guide book on Peace Dollars states it is not a proof I would tend to believe him. If you are...
Definitely one of my favorite US coin series, and that is a beautiful example. If it wasn't for the 1884 and 1885 I would definitely work on a...
