Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 12/20/2007 4:17 pm well the 36.55 he got for all 50 of them would only pay for 2 coins being slabbed so I don't really see where it would be worth slabbing a blank planchet because their premium isn't enough to cover slabbing and shipping to and from the grading company. I could be wrong with my assessment because I don't collect errors or anything but I am just going by that auction itself Report this Post to the Staff
arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 12/20/2007 5:06 pm Blank planchets only cost a couple of dollars each, so they're not really worth getting slabbed. Do the pictures seem fishy to anyone else? The coin on the top right kind of appears to have the memorial building on the back...then again maybe I'm seeing things. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/20/2007 5:07 pm Planchets are not common but they are not rare either. Their value doesn't justify the expense of slabbing as you can usually purchase them for a couple bucks a piece. Some of the ones pictured in the auction are spotted which would reduce their value as well. Report this Post to the Staff
hemi1500 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 12/20/2007 8:50 pm yes I noticed that too, about the coin that appears to have the memorial building on it.It does seem a bit strange since the auction is for unstruck cents. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 12/20/2007 10:24 pm There are some blank planchets in there but I do also see what looks like remnants of the Lincoln Memorial on some of them. I'm not saying anything for sure but some may have been home made. Report this Post to the Staff
