Keep in mind that the coins pictured in the Collectors weekly and Treasurenet links are not confirmed re-punched mint marks. They are coins that have been posted by the people who found them, and they are hoping to get information, just like you did with your coin. Also, the video that both mentioned, about a supposed one-of-a-kind unknown RPM, is on CoinOPP, which is a sensationalist video site that is designed to get lots of views, not provide accurate information. (My opinion.) Your coin does not appear to be a re-punched mint mark to me. It looks like strike doubling.

Mike is correct.

The 2018 is not a doubled die, and the 2016 does not appear to be one either, to me.

Welcome to the forum, and to the world of coin collecting. Even though it is over 50 years old, a 1968 quarter is still common, and can still be found in circulation. Unless they are uncirculated, with only one or two tiny imperfections, they are only worth 25 cents. Keep looking

The top one looks like the large style, and the bottom one looks small. Definitely not something I have a lot of experience with, though.

You did a good job with the photography. Can't beat the provenance, either.

In the mid 60s, a company called Kaysons International, Ltd. issued a set of 35 different 7 inch vinyl records in a series entitled Presidential Profiles. Each album was narrated by Art Baker, and contained a medallion depicting the president that was featured on that album. Your medallion was one of these. Here is a link with some info

The National park Cigar stand was in the lobby of the National Park Hotel in Vicksburg, MS from 1913 to 1927. The token is listed as an R10 (unique).

So when are you going to do that ?

Thank you for that confirmation. I was hoping you would see this thread and respond, because I wasn't 100 percent sure. The book said there was a die crack, and the Variety Plus pictures showed a crack, but I could not see it at all on the OP's coin. Now that you pointed it out, I can see it on my big monitor.

I apologize. I should have given credit where credit was due. The pictures on NGC's Variety Plus page were the pictures that I used to try to attribute this coin.

I think it is a great idea. The $10 gold coin will cost you about $1200, if you choose to include it, but it isn't hard to find. And, if you go just base metal and silver, your cost is much less - around $35 for proof coins. Depends on your budget, and how much you like your brother. It is a gift I would be happy to receive. Welcome to the forum.

Is the area raised, sunken, or flush with the rest of the surface?

I actually thought it was a very good question.

On a brighter note: I believe the OP has won the prize for "Longest Title to a Post."

The 1943 cents were made of steel with a thin plating of zinc. Once in circulation, it didn't take long for the plating to begin to wear off, and the steel to rust. In order to make them look more appealing, some companies stripped and re-plated the cents to make them look like new. These were often sold in 3-coin sets - one from each mint. According to some earlier posts by Mr Lange, NGC will not grade re-plated cents.

no

Creme Brulee Yummm!

I agree. Notice how the crack in the top picture does not go over the wing, but your scratch does?

It looks to have been re-plated after it left the mint. I would guess that the lines are an anomaly caused by the plating process. That would fall under the post-mint damage category.

These can be purchased direct from China for $1.77 each, plus shipping.

That is a really old coin! MInted in 980, A.D. An ultra rarity!

And, to further assist you and others, this is what you are looking for: (pictures courtesy of our hosts)

That is the 2nd hairstyle, Small 8, Style 2 lettering, Reverse of 1797. That narrows it down to 19 (I think) die marriages. Breen 40 ( Sheldon 187 or Bowers-Whitman 54) is the only one that I could find on which the top left berry droops like that.
