Morganator Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 06/28/2007 02:30 am Anyone know what the value on this might be. I'm trying to value my collection and I don't know much about errors. Obverse is blank, reverse is fully printed. Image: DSCN4794a.jpg 70.5 KB Image: DSCN4793a.jpg 66.17 KB Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 06/28/2007 02:33 am It looks like a blank planchet but it might have had some help with a belt sander. Can you get any larger pics? Any chance you could weigh it? The coin itself should weigh around 3.11 grams. Edited by GO 06/28/2007 02:34 am Report this Post to the Staff

Tpatna Pillar of the Community United States 1626 Posts	Posted 06/28/2007 02:40 am I agree...looks like it has been altered to me as well. Closer pics needed to be sure Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/28/2007 08:50 am Done with a belt sander or something similar, it is an impossible error to have one side blank with no rim. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/28/2007 1:10 pm I concur. It was sanded down and isn't an error at all. It's worth one cent. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/28/2007 1:11 pm Oh, and just in case you are interested, it was made between 1974 and 1979. The reverse was the same all of those years, so I cannot round it down any more than that. Report this Post to the Staff
Morganator Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 06/28/2007 11:58 pm Thanks. Upon closer examination there are some striations that might be from putting it on a sander. Report this Post to the Staff

BRUCE 1947 Pillar of the Community United States 834 Posts	Posted 07/03/2007 10:05 pm Do all blank planchet coins, weather it be obverse or reverse have a full rim as a indicator to let you know for sure that is what it is ? Bruce. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 07/03/2007 10:08 pm If the planchet went thru the upsetting machine, then there will be a rim on both sides. If there is a rim on one side it was there on both at some point in time. I believe this is right. CC will confirm or correct. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
BRUCE 1947 Pillar of the Community United States 834 Posts	Posted 07/03/2007 11:35 pm Jim. Thanks that sounds right. Report this Post to the Staff
