Unfortunately not magnetic. I have a 50% silver 1968 and a 80% dime with which to do a drop test with the Bobcat but it's in such nice shape that I can't bring myself to do it. I'll bet it's 80 percent though, which is more resistant to oxidization due to the lower copper content. That and it looks a little "brighter" than the 50% of the next year.

My last silver quarter found in the wild was also a 1967. That was about three years ago.

Modern taxonomy classifies the bobcat as a lynx.Now both are correct.
Alex Colville referred to it as a wildcat(ambiguous)
Saw a 1967 nickel quarter at J&M a few years ago,$6000,wonder if it's the same one OD saw.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

That's like if an alien civilization took over earth and put a picture of a human on a coin and called it a primate. A Canadian Lynx is a completely different species that just looks quite similar. |

It seems to me that it's easier to find silver dimes, since they don't stand out as well, being smaller, and always featuring the Bluenose (except the 67, of course). Every 67 and back quarter draws attention, only the 67 dime does.
I have found 3 quarters this year, all 68's, and 4 dimes, various years.

There are approximately 12 of the nickel 1967 pattern strike known (CH# DC-34). Mine is in an ICCS MS-65 holder, with superb surfaces, and currently en route to being placed into a PCGS holder. That said, I have access to a second one, also ICCS MS-65 with a cameo finish. Old Dimes, once you have 50 posts here on CCF, you will have the ability to contact me, if you are serious about acquiring one...
By the way, I have to ask, what grade was the one J&M had recently?

Yeah, judging from the lack of tarnish or scratches the quarter hadn't seen much use so I assume it must have been saved up by someone for a very, very, long time. And back it goes  |

As a child I was always told that the 'cat' on the quarter was a 'Puma' from Wiki: Cougar, a large cat also known as a puma, mountain lion, or panther. Puma (genus), the genus containing the cougar and the jaguarundi
