Todays Halves, Nickels, and Pennies

[kevo]

Yesterday I posted about a bank that had about 400.00 in halves but would only sell about 100.00/day. She told me to keep coming back for the next few days. I have found a lot of silver here. Well I went back today and she was out to lunch. So, I stopped by KFC and had some lunch myself and then headed to another bank and bought 20.00/nickels and 10.00/pennies. This gave me something to do while I was waiting. In the nickels I found 2 war nickels 1944 D and 1942 P and a few other old ones. In the pennies I found a 1970 S small date, and a 1953 wheatie. In the halves I found one full roll of 1967. I think one of the '67 is a proof, did they have proofs in 1967? Todays halfs:

1965-3
1966-12
1967-34

I also found a gold looking half, think it's anything good or just something somebody messed with? I'm leaning towards an alteration.

I used to work at a circuit board manufacturing facility. They had plating capability and it was pretty common for them to gold plate halves. Of course the company didn't know this was going on.

Yes and no.

In 1967, as well as in '65 & '66, they released Special Mint Sets, which contained specially prepared coins that were not quite up to Proof standards.
