Any excellent find indeed.

They are half dollar size, his is 10 years older than the one I found a couple months ago.

It always feels good when you find silver. That 1967 fish can be either 50% or 80% silver. I guess the way to distinguish is to drop test. Hope that helps.

Cool find but do give it the magnet test. There are some fakes of those around. Usually they are the silver dollar size coin that you have to worry about. I once got a stack of them from a large collection I bought cheap. It does look real though and in nice shape but always good to check.

Ouch, that happens
I replied to the wrong topic. The correct thread is below. How did that happened? That is the question.

P.S: don't reply to topics after going through 2 nickel boxes

Did a magnet check and it is the real deal. I just hope for better # this coming year for me and everyone here on Tnet.
