spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/03/2018 03:38 am It has a proto-rim, caused by an upsetting mill. So, it must be a planchet intended for striking. For what it was intended is the question!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/03/2018 12:43 pm It should be slightly smaller than a cent. (After the planchet is struck, it widens out to fill the collar.) The mark on the planchet looks like damage. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 11/03/2018 1:54 pm Definitely not a US cent as it is just shy of nickel diameter. As noted in a previous planchet thread it would seem that these expand a little when struck so probably meant for a coin with a final diameter of 21mm. Report this Post to the Staff
