Spawk New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 10/29/2012 7:57 pm Hello All, Firt time poster, long time reader. I was recently penny roll hunting (canadian) and came across what I believe is blank. I am not sure if it is, but hoping I could get some opinions on these pictures. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

From what I understand is it just didnt make it through the last stamping process. Its pretty neat to find huh. Started two threads yesterday. https://goccf.com/t/132674 https://goccf.com/t/132673 Edited by samsnate 10/29/2012 8:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 10/29/2012 8:33 pm Nice Find! Yours is what is known as a Type II blank planchet, as the rims have been upset slightly to prepare the blank for striking. Report this Post to the Staff

samsnate Pillar of the Community Canada 1723 Posts	Posted 10/29/2012 9:17 pm Ive seen may go on ebay for 5 bucks give or take. Luck of the draw. Personally I'm just gonna give mine to a fellow collector who wants one. Its cool and all to find and I did find 1 but I'm good with that. If someone else can appreciate it more than me...then they can have it. Just hope I get a deal down the road too. Karma. Report this Post to the Staff

OldCoinGuy Valued Member Canada 154 Posts	Posted 10/30/2012 6:34 pm I have one I found in an original roll of 1967 nickels back in 1967. I have kept it for 45 years. I guess if it is now worth $5.00 it has appreciated 9,900% in all those years! Is my math right? I haven't had enough coffee yet today to be sure. Report this Post to the Staff
