Hello,
I may, or may not, have a satin finish 1965 Churchill Crown. Attached are a few pics of it.
It actually weighs 28.09 grams, although I have seen many coin sites entering their weights at 28.28 grams and above.
My problem is I am not sure what I have here. Is it a common or is it a VIP satin. I understand that the mint struck some in sterling
I have done exhausting research about BOAC Cunard and it was 3 years prior to the 1965 minting that BOAC and Cunard merged.
I don't know if this commemorative coin in the display case was given to a VIP on a cruise or on a flight. I have went through all available newsprint during the era and could not find anything substantial.
I am sincerely hoping a numismatic here can give me some info, or point me in the right direction.
Is this a Satin Finish or a common? Is it possibly a silver strike because of the different weight?
I am thanking you in advance for any info you can give me.
Thank you very much.
Jay B.
