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.

Thanks.. I have a question for the experts, please. What makes a planchet a "proof" ?

If I remember right, it is polished before it is struck into a coin.

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..

that proof planchets are handled differently, more carefully and get polished in a special drum before striking.
