Eyes are everywhere now anyway. The mints newer practices are also eliminating most errors getting out in the first place. Report this Post to the Staff

If they are "super" common, I'd like to know where Errorcoins came up with that information. Well at 1 planchet per half million cents that would be two per million or 2,000 per billion. Now I'm still using a 2006 RedBook but in 2004 they struck 3.8 billion cents so that would mean 7,600 planchets released in 2004. Or if we take that mintage as an average year (which it isn't, it's low) Then from 1983 to 2004 that comes to 160,000 zinc cent planchets released. Sounds common to me. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/24/2012 3:41 pm How common are blank cent planchets? All blanks run through the upset mill are called planchets. All coins were struck on planchets. LOL Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 3:10 pm Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. Kind of funny at the end where they say you'll need to dig deep to buy one, if you don't buy them right away. Sounds like a plug for the US Mint to increase demand on them.
