Those would be "silver" then. 1964 was the last year of 90% silver content, 1965 was 40% if my information is correct. Dang brother! What a find!

I have an old parts car I bought but I haven't taken it apart....I did meet the previous owner. So far, all I found of interest was a court order allowing him "only to drive to and from work" as he was convicted of drunk driving!
