The coin in question is a medal from the U.S. Assay Commission, dated 1880. It is part of a special series commemorating the important role the Assay Commission played in ensuring the accuracy and quality of U.S. coinage. Although specific details such as mint and designer are marked as "N/A," this piece is notable for its historical significance rather than traditional minting details. This particular medal is made of copper and is classified under the "Coins" sub-type, reflecting its acknowledgment as a numismatic artifact rather than a circulating currency. The absence of a defined weight, width, height, diameter, and mintage suggests that this piece may be rare or hold a unique status within the Assay Commission Medals series. With the denomination and edge type listed as blank, it reinforces its identity as a special commemorative item rather than conventional coinage, further enhancing its appeal to collectors interested in U.S. history and numismatics. The "currency" value is noted as USD, but given its characteristics and historical context, its collectible value would vary greatly depending on condition, demand, and provenance rather than intrinsic monetary value. As this medal is rooted in a specific time and purpose, it represents a tangible connection to the past and stands as a collectible item for enthusiasts of American numismatics.
