chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 06:40 am I'm not a pro, but would it even be possible for a blank to wind up being stamped and not a planchet? Edit: not sure if that's what we're looking at but it is an error. http://www.error-ref.com/coin-struc...ype-i-blank/ Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 03/22/2019 06:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 11:57 am I thought the coin looked as though it hadn't gone through the upset mill and was a stamped blank because of the absence of the rim.

seanqueue Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 2:54 pm The 1955 cent was once encased, usually as an advertisement or a "lucky penny". The flattened rim can give the appearance of a coin struck on a type 1 planchet. Sean Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 2:59 pm They might have look like this before the damage was done: If you have one of the ones still in the holder, leave them there. At least there is some value in the holder. Out of the holder, they are just a damaged coin. Regardless if the coin is not circulated. They just a still just a damaged coin taken out of the holder.
