jaybart55 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 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.

thedeadpoint Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Welcome to Coinpeople! While I personally can't answer your question, I bet some folks here can. That picture on the bottom - is that of the same coin or a known satin/non-satin for comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybart55 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 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. Jay B.
