Max L Valued Member Canada 258 Posts	Posted 10/10/2013 11:39 am I found this coin the other day and I have no idea whether its an actual world coin blank (unsure because of the denticles) or just a bus, phone or pinball token. The weight is 6.2grams and the diameter 27mm. It is non-magnetic Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16890 Posts	Posted 10/10/2013 5:48 pm With the denticles on it like that, it is a struck, finished "coin", made from dies that were blank except for the denticles. It was presumably made and sold as a generic stock token, but with no manufacturer ID, it will be impossible to trace further. 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
Max L Valued Member Canada 258 Posts	Posted 10/10/2013 10:21 pm Thank you for your input Sap! At least I know now. So it's safe to say that any "blank" coin with denticles is not a blank planchet? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16890 Posts	Posted 10/10/2013 10:59 pm Correct. Blanks can be "rimmed", giving them a raised edge, but anything fancier than that has to be imparted by a die. 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
