That should sell a few copies.

Cool find!

There appears to be enough hair and leaf detail to get a VG details grade, despite the rim/denticle weakness. With the damage, I would price it in the low AG range - probably $45 - $50.

If the coin is coined "medal turn'" would not the front sail ("headsail" or "jib") be opposite the fish, rather than the rear sail ("mainsail")?

On August 3rd, 1938, Mssrs. H.J.Wilson, D.A. Graves, and H.H Parker filed a record of charter to form the Copiah County Building & Development Co. in Hazlehurst, MS. Its stated purpose was to, among other things, " buy, own, lease, and operate lumber yards," "buy, sell, and exchange wares and goods," and to "buy, own, sell, and lease timber and timber lands." On March 23, 1943, an amendment to the charter was filed, changing the name to Graves, Inc. In addition to the $0.25, $0.50, and $1.00 tokens shown, a $0.05 token was also issued.

I should have worded my response differently, evidently. I did not mean to imply that I thought the OP's coin was a special mint set coin. I just meant that, because of the date, it could not be a proof coin.

I concur. The surfaces look manipulated. As far as the grade, lower XF details looks about right

In this case, it has to be a Special Mint Set coin, as there were no proofs made in 1965, 66, or 67.

Photograde considers 8 a VG. I think that is where your coin sits.

Over polishing would be my guess, too.

I just took a look at this issue, since I know nothing about it, and, yes, it definitely makes a difference with this coin. The problem seems to be that there is no way to tell the difference except by the color, and that can be unreliable. The weight and specific gravity are supposedly the same, or so close as to be almost undetectable. Add to this the theory (or possibly fact) that the brass coins were not a separate issue, but simply (supposedly) a mistake, or several mistakes, in the production of the planchet alloy, and you have no die markers to help distinguish these from any other die variety. With over 200 varieties known, and the possibility of more existing, just for this one date, this is one of those coins that a person could spend a lifetime studying.

LIncoln cents have officially been made of brass since 1963, when the requirement to include tin was dropped, but they are still referred to as "Bronze" or sometimes "Copper." Apparently, most people don't "draw the line."

It looks like the coin in the NGC pic, to me. Lots of matching marks and stains on the two pictures. But, yeah, it would be nice if members could post NGC pictures. I do understand why they protect their property, though. It (hopefully) helps prevent scammers from using their pictures to sell coins they don't own. Link to NGC pic, in case anyone else wants to take a look.

Welcome to the forum.

Here is a link to the NGC page for the MS and Proof strikes for this year. The rims are sharper, and the details are generally more pronounced on the proof example. A bit of intense study should make you familiar with the differences. https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/search/1/?country=GREAT+BRITAIN&region=All+Regions&denom=1%2f2+Penny&date=1930&catalogInitials=&catalogNumber=

Your brother sounds like a cheapskate, if, as a birthday present, he gave you only 5 coins that are a dime a dozen.

What do you think happened during the minting process to cause your coin to look like that?

Nice write-up. Lots of interesting information. And, another great medal.

And, please describe exactly what it is you are wanting to know.

I have done that more than once, just to complete a set. I have never regretted it. Having the set completed was worth the extra cost. Congrats!

Those are very cool pieces. Welcome to the forum.

Bienvenidos al foro. Su moneda se acaba de usar - posiblemente de máquinas de balanceo o conteo. No sucedió en la casa de la moneda.

Since the grades 60 - 70 are reserved for uncirculated coins, and your quarter eagle has obvious wear, it can not grade above AU58 (59 is not used.) I would put it in the lower AU range.

This is the one that I was looking at. It is RPM-001. Now that I see it on my laptop, it does not match as closely as it did on my phone. Sorry, if I got your hopes up, OP.
