Guess the date and grade on Oscar's silver dollar (really a semi-OT gratuitous cat pic post)

Meet Oscar. I found him and his sister, soaking wet, down at the boat ramp in the middle of a rainstorm, about two months ago. My dad adopted his black and white sister, who got named "Doo Dah", so Oscar should be called "Zippety", I suppose. The name fits, now, though when I found him he was malnourished and barely hanging on to life. He almost didn't make it. Couldn't even hold his head up the first day or two.
This picture was taken after he recovered a bit, but before he grew into those big ol' ears. He's half grown now, with huge feet. I can tell he's gonna be a big ol' tomcat. No more runt! We also call him "Bigfoot" and "Sasquatch". Which sorta fits, 'cause he's a holy terror now, half the time. (50% halo, 50% horns). He's now a neut, so that should slow 'im down a little. Sheesh. In the time between my snapping these pictures and my uploading them, this cat has doubled in size.
Extra credit question, so I don't get flamed for an OT post: guess the date and grade of Oscar's silver dollar. It has sort of orange peripheral toning on the obverse, that matches him well. The first to guess the date and grade correctly will win one of Oscar's very own furballs (but you must pay the shipping).
He's not always a holy terror.
[NAUSEATINGLY SACCHARINE VOICE] Aaaww, how cuuuute! [/NAUSEATINGLY SACCHARINE VOICE]
Even cuter. Victoria and Oscar. Betcha can't top that- this would grade a 69 or 70 on the Cuteness Scale.
Maisy likes coins, too. Buffalo nickels, apparently.
Aww, how cute. Again.
I'm sure you've had entirely enough cuteness for now, so I'll stop.

SilverEagles92: you're 2/3 right. (I wish you were 100% right!) You're 2/3 of the way to winning that special hairball!

Julio: you're 100% right. We're rather fond of our critters here, too. Shoot, we spent about as much on Oscar's first vet visit as that coin is worth.
Well, speak of the devil... guess who just showed up at my feet.
