Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 02/07/2020 2:03 pm Yep! It's a type II planchet. That means the coin made it through the upsetting mill, but was never struck. You can tell it's a type II by the small raised rim. If were a type 1, also known simply as a blank, it would be flat across the face on both sides.

Plediannumismati New Member 43 Posts	Posted 02/07/2020 3:52 pm Panther, much obliged to you for your feedback. I've never come across one of these while coin roll hunting. Is there a market for something like this if I were to want to sell it? Report this Post to the Staff
