I'm assuming these are gold instead of brass but I could be wrong. This was tucked away under the top belly of an old IBM server.

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, they're both. Gold plate over yellow brass.

Yep. While the exposed part is brass, if you were to break the plastic off you would see the end of the plating

Brass- Fooled my ass.

In regards to what type of board this is would it fall under midgrade?

There’s usually a tiny amount of gold plating under the plastic at the connection point for electrical stability. (The blue connectors)
In case you’re interested in breaking into the connectors to find out.
Regardless: the board is midgrade. There’s enough brass weight for the value over low; despite missing ICs.
