Clearer pictures would be a big help, but I have to say that it does not look promising.

The Jackson-State National Bank was established in 1889, and remains open today as Trustmark National Bank. The bank printed three types and denominations of national currency, totaling $281,650.
This piece was issued in 1939 to commemorate the bank's 50th anniversary.
 

In conjunction with the ANA, Joe Rust, president of the Gallery Mint Museum, refurbished and refitted the first steam press
used by the U.S. Mint. Rust said at the time, "It was a wonderful experience to work on this press that carries so much history with it.
Copper and silver versions were struck. I have a silver, copper and one error.

Interesting story, but the article appears to have been written by 3rd grader, and cut and pasted by his little brother.

Nice addition. It's a good looking coin.  
Are you happy with your choice?

Not if the person passing the coin down was her father. Even a grown woman can still think that her father was infallible. And, if he was thought to be an expert collector, it will be hard to convince her that he could have been fooled by anyone or any coin.

How could it be "extra" gold? All of the planchets were the same weight and size before striking - within tolerance, of course. It would just be gold that was in a different place than it should have been.
If the "fin" is called a "wire" anything, it should be "wire rim." The edge is not affected, since it is inside the collar. But the term "wire rim" could imply a different method of manufacture, as opposed to a "normal rim," which was not the case. So, "fin" seems like the most perspicuous choice.

It is possible that he did not die, but that this medal was to commemorate his retirement on September 16, 1943, after 25 years of service. 
Also, Kerkrade was the location of one of the mine shafts. From the linked article:
 In1797production stopped on the slopes of the Worm valley, and a new shaft was built on thePlateau of Kerkrade in Holz. (Sic)

Way to go, J.P.!

No fashion cents? 

Are you going to send that in for attribution?

Now, to me this is super interesting ! I have not researched to find the year that Lauer created this Spiel but looking close it echoes the 
1879 New York Martinka & Co. NGC MS63 merchant token I bought a while back
 

 
This is the Spiel I picked up recently 
Spiel Marke Counter Token Cable Car/ mundus vult decipi discipiatur
Phrase, means "The world wants to be deceived, so let it be deceived.
I am aware and did read that this shop once was owned by Houdi and he had a double
Obverse made of this token……..Martinka token ….I assume this token is put out by the merchant. Which was him at one time.
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
For giggles I photoshop each coin to show the size differences, simply because on or the other
came out blurry.
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I think the cookware was actually made by Paul's friend and bandmate, Ringo Revere.

Good find!

I still prefer analog coin albums...
 

I reported it and contacted the seller. The listing has been pulled, apparently. I can't find it anymore. 
 

You got a copy of Pippi Longstocking?
