jedichef Pillar of the Community United States 781 Posts	Posted 10/21/2011 3:38 pm picked up this planchet this week. my brother found it at work, in the till. it's 13.2 grams, ~32mm in diameter. does not appear to be silver, also, no visible copper core, looks to be nickel, not magnetic. thicker than half dollar by about half a millimeter. any ideas what this might have been intended for? Smaller and lighter than casino slug. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/21/2011 6:06 pm I don't think junk would have such a nicely upset rim. It could be anything from a private strike to a foreign coin planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
