Well, we gave it a shot, time for supper and bed.
Is the size of the coin correct? You say it "just" fit into a roll of nickels, so my best guess would be that it was hammered down to nearly the...

Yikes! A Zombeddy!;)

I have seen this on entire rolls of 70-74. Very common. The mint marks were very sloppy for these years. Not quite so bad for 68 & 69.

Hopefully she will return with some photos.
What Doug said about the values is true of any catalog like this, including the U.S. Red Book. But I do find enough information in the Krause...
Thanks for both of your help. I got to where I was going and didn't need a GPS!
