JJSilverMan New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/18/2017 12:46 am I found a blank copper planchet at an antique store. There was no information written on the holder. I have measured the diameter at 36mm and weight to be 26.3 grams. I did take it to a local coin shop and they think it may be a commemorative blank (American President perhaps). Anyone have any ideas what this may be? I will post some pics if need be, but thought someone may know what it is by dimensions and content.

I never heard of that commemorative blank but it could be that too. Maybe someone else knows more.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/18/2017 1:40 pm Way too large and wrong composition to be a golden dollar planchet(manganese-brass, 8.1g and 26.5mm). The specs do not match any US coin and attempting to match it with a foreign coin planchet would be a difficult task at best. It is possibly a planchet intended for a privately manufactured token or medal. Report this Post to the Staff

JJSilverMan New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 2:08 pm Thanks for all of the advice and info. It sounds like I may have to keep looking. I am making a trip to Denver, CO next month and plan on doing the mint tour there. Maybe I can take the blank with me and ask if they have any info on it. I know it doesn't sound like a US coin, but they may be able to head me in the right direction. Thanks again everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
