Lucky silver strike at the bank!

Yesterday I purchased $100 of Kennedy halves from my local bank. I told the teller that I was searching for silver and she pulled out a 1964 quarter and sold it to me at face! I was elated at such a simple act of kindness and even more happy when I got home. My findings:

1 - 1959 Franklin image
2 - 1964 Kennedys
1 - 1965 Kennedy
4 - 1967 Kennedys
1 - 1981 Kennedy missing its collar. The metal layers on both sides of the coin overlap so that I can bend them with my fingernail. The coin also looks as if it has been sand blasted. I figure that someone put it in acid. Maybe I should submit it to ACG and then sell it to Kingcoin? image

Not a bad silver buy for only $4. I was also finally able to assemble my first 40% silver roll! Oh, the simple pleasures in life!

    I figured that Franky would bring a response from you, Lucy. It's very nice, probably full bell lines. Unfortunately, someone spent a lot of time polishing it and making it very shiny image. Oh well, it still has the silver!
