I got this yesterday in change at a gas station. I only noticed it because the coin edge was so pronounced and thick. Is this the 1966 SMS ?

Looks like an SMS coin that got spent.

Someone raided grandpa/ma’s stash/collection.

Sure looks like it.... I agree with @Hemispherical.... likely a coin collection raid....Cheers, RickO

Coated in copper-mercury? I'd be cautious handling it.
