old silver roll

Ok, got a question for the group, and would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
I ran across an old half dollar roll stamped "Chase Manhattan Bank." The paper is a little loose, but it's otherwise intact. It is machine rolled. One side is covered with paper and so not visible. The other side has a 1967 Kennedy visible. I got the roll, essentially, for nothing, and I have no reason to believe it is faked in any way. Actually, it came from a found collection in a property just acquired that hasn't been used in at least a decade. Kind of the most realistic dream-lot any of us can ever expect to "find". I'm wondering what the likelihood is that it is solid 1967's vs other mixed dates (franklins, walkers, etc?)., circulated or uncirculated, etc? Anyone have info on Chase-stamped rolls from that period (1967 or later)?
I'm most likely going to sell it as-is, but I just wondered y'all's thoughts. Thanks!

you might find two or three 90% in there... by 1967 alot of the 90% had been pulled from circulation.

Put it up in a KSA

Have to see what the group of owners wants to do with it (ten of us bought the camp property together), but it may well wind up in a KSA one of these weeks.

Re: old silver roll *UPDATE*

So I actually completely forgot about this roll as it made its way into the back of my gun safe. I got looking at it and, even though I'm sure it was never opened the paper on the visible end was kind of chewed up, so based on my research it wouldn't have brought a huge amount on EBay. (Being the curious guy I am) I decided to open it up and see what it was made of. The first one (visible) was tarnished just from being exposed to the air, but all the rest were BU 1967 Kennedys. Nice to stumble into something good once in a while!

Not yet, because my camera was at work, but I should be able to get one up by tomorrow.
