coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/03/2020 9:10 pm The "so called" Blank is actually a nickel planchet. Blanks are type one, planchets are type 2. Why is there a difference? Because blanks are cut out of the stock material: They are just blanks at this point. Then they run through a setup process that add a roto rim to the blank, turning it into a planchet. The raised rim slows down the circulation wear on the devices. When you look at coin grading, when the coins get to the VG-and lower the rim is starting suffer as well as the devices. So you planchets have the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
