Nifty finds for sure. If you want to be certain on the quarter planchet the weight of a clad example could be compared to the weight of yours.

Yes I was lucky, a friend of mine buys storage lockers. He found about 5 cointainers with random coins in them, he was just gonna put in his pocket change but decided to give them to me to go through since I been coin hunting a lot lately.

Looks like a type 2 (has the proto-rim from the upsetting mill), vs. a blank cut out of the sheet.
About all you can say otherwise is 1965->date since it's clad.
Fun!
