jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1265 Posts	Posted 07/28/2024 3:56 pm I've been going through my planchets again and thought this was a quarter, but weighed it and I now believe it's a Susan B. Anthoney... 8.143 grams. Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/28/2024 7:51 pm If I remember right, it is polished before it is struck into a coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1265 Posts	Posted 07/28/2024 8:56 pm Thanks John1.. The reason I'm asking is because two "proof" SBA planchets have sold on Heritage Auctions for over $400.00. I didn't even give it a thought until I started looking at various sites to verify the weight of an SBA. Oh well...I'm gonna keep it.. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97084 Posts	Posted 07/28/2024 9:27 pm that proof planchets are handled differently, more carefully and get polished in a special drum before striking.
