I don't know if these will help. It's the best I can do with the original pics.   |

I bet your heart started pounding when you first saw it.
Good job on being careful and insightful enough to question the coin.

I mean, I took two seconds to look at it, and I immediately knew it was fake. Mushy details and the date are a dead giveaway.

Part of an "unsearched roll" scam?

Thanks everyone. Quote:

I know what my reaction would be... I'm not one to curse, but I may have broken something!

Indeed a mystery how this could end up in a bank box.

Someone got scammed, found out it was worthless, couldn't return it, so it got spent.
Another option, these are probably pretty cheap on the no no site so as a joke someone bought some and just spent them to watch for the "OMG look what I found in a roll" comments on forums or coin publications.
