jason39305 Valued Member United States 474 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 5:48 pm So, I'm an architect as some of you might know, and I'm currently working on a project for our city. I was meeting with the department which handled the parking meters and they had a cup filled with foreign coins that were pulled from the meters. I asked for the cup and they gave it to me. Needless to say, I was pretty excited. So I did a quick gloss over and there were many Canadian quarters and UK 10 pence, etc. I did find one silver Japan 100 Sen, an interesting transit token, a Mexican 10 centavos and what I believe is a quarter blank planchet! Y'all chime in and let me know if it is a blank. No reeds are present. Edited by jason39305 12/07/2022 6:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Boguss Pillar of the Community United States 596 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 5:54 pm What a great haul, Jason! As for the potential quarter planchet, weight and diameter are needed. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
jason39305 Valued Member United States 474 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:12 pm I have another quarter planchet in my collection, so I pulled it out to compare. The dimension matches and it has the slight chamfered edge as well. As for the weight, I don't have a scale. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 13758 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:12 pm pretty nice haul. I'm curious about the type 2 quarter planchet Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 26052 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:30 pm The transit token is also collectible. Consider placing that into a 2x2 for safekeeping as well.

John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 48404 Posts	Posted 12/08/2022 04:05 am Weight would be helpful, but looks genuine to me. Nice little haul. You should ask them to save all their rejects for you in the future. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
