I would guess that the blank was punched from stock that was rolled a hair thick.

RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 03/19/2018 8:43 pm It can mean foreign planchet, but much more often it means that the mint didn't roll their stock quite thin enough before making planchets, thus a thicker and heavier coin. Report this Post to the Staff

I checked the list I have and found nothing close to this weight and composition in production at the Philly mint this year. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/19/2018 11:11 pm That's a good point, Doug, that shouldn't be overlooked. Foreign planchet errors do occur, but you must be able to identify what planchet it was struck on. In this case, you know that it was struck at the Philadelphia mint in 1952 and that it appears to be a primarily copper coin. There are lists you can consult to see if any of that along with the size and weight correlates to a known foreign coin. These are the only links I have handy: https://www.PCGS.com/SetRegistry/mu...osition/4824 https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Reco...n%20mint&ft= In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Edited by spru 03/19/2018 11:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
