Kafka Valued Member Canada 352 Posts	Posted 12/06/2013 3:42 pm I found a few penny blanks from either the 60s or 70s in my father's collection. Would anybody have information on the blanks? And do they have any value? I'm attaching a photo of one front and back. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 12/06/2013 3:54 pm How do you know it's from the '60s or '70s? Have you weighed it? On ebay they sell for anywhere from $1-$20,the norm seems to be about $4. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Kafka Valued Member Canada 352 Posts	Posted 12/06/2013 3:58 pm Thanks DBM. My father passed away in the mid-90s and hadn't touched his collection for 15-20 years. I'm just getting to some of the material. Would it matter if the blank was new or old? I haven't weighed the blanks. Has the weight of the penny changed from the 70s to present day?

Yes,pre 1982 are 3.1grams and after 1982 2.5 grams.Also,there are some "knock outs" from electrical boxes etc that are not coin related,FYI. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Kafka Valued Member Canada 352 Posts	Posted 12/06/2013 4:33 pm Thanks John1. I'll hunt down scales. I notice someone on ebay selling a blank for $49. ebay number: 221252583939 Looks like mine. Does it seem excessive? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/06/2013 6:28 pm Excessive is an understatement.Check ebay sold prices but I don't think cent blanks are worth more then $5. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
