I have several coins that my mom received either in the late 60s or the 70s from the bank when she opened a savings account with them. I think it was common back then to get gifts for opening accounts. They were in sealed hard plastic cases. I didn't really understand it as a kid, but it is obvious to me now that the coins were harshly cleaned to make them nice and shiny. Now, 40+ years later those coins are still as shiny as ever!
