paul g Valued Member United Kingdom 115 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 5:08 pm Evening; Another discovery, I remember this as a wee lad. Can anyone tell me what this is, I thought it might be a blank coin but there is some weight in it. The large one weights 23g and is 26mm dia; The small one 11g and 19mm dia. If it is, indeed a blank coin, can anyone tell what it is?! The Â£1 coin is for scale Report this Post to the Staff

paul g Valued Member United Kingdom 115 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 5:03 pm Does this look like a planchet to anyone? I have tried to find images similar but to no avail Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 1:56 pm I don't believe this is a blank or a planchet. Almost looks like an electrical contact point, maybe for a fuse. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16874 Posts	Posted 01/20/2013 5:09 pm Coin blanks are punched out of a sheet of metal, like a hole-punch punches holes in paper. They are always round metal discs, with no sprues or odd corners still attached. Whatever these things are, they aren't numismatic. Agree they are probably electrical. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
