Yes, the pic on the bottom is the same coin out of its case.   It's strange how these coins are so hard to photograph precisely.  I know, 2 of the coins look silver and shiny, while the other 2 are satiny.

Anyhow, thanks for your interest.

Hello,

I really need some help knowing whether this is a satin finish 1965 Churchill Crown., or not.  Attached are a few pics of it.

The coin actually weighs 28.09 grams, although I have seen many coin sites describing the weight at 28.28 grams or above.

The problem I have is that I am not sure what I have here.  Is it a common or is it a VIP satin?  I also understand that the mint did strike some in silver.

I have done research about BOAC Cunard and it was 3 years prior to the 1965 minting that BOAC and Cunard merged and I don't know if this 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 sincerely hope one of you knowledgeable coin experts here can give me some info, or at least  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 honestly do appreciate any help at all.

Thank you very much.

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.
