I blame murrellington for this one.  I just took his lead.  (Although, in his defense, his most recent post was back on topic.) Okay, back to the Lincoln Cents, everyone.  |

business strike
A regular issue coin, struck on regular planchets by dies given normal preparation. These are the coins struck for commerce that the Mint places into circulation. While your statement is correct, it's not all-encompassing. For example: "Crown Vics are the largest production cars in the US" does not negate "Crown Vics are sold for law enforcement use". For example, 70d halves are undeniably business strikes (not proofs), but were not placed into circulation. In this case the distinction is business strike vs proof strike, not made for circulation vs NCLT (which can be BU or PR). |

Nothing great, but to me, great find from this evenings funner rolls.
Found a blank zinc, and a 1931D, somewhere close to VF condition.
Less than a month ago, I ran into a 1950 maple penny.

In this case the distinction is business strike vs proof strike, not made for circulation vs NCLT (which can be BU or PR). In the context of the conversation we were having, the use of "business strike" definitely describes the coin's intended use, not the method of manufacture. I agree, the 1970-D Kennedy half dollar (as well as the two earlier mentioned bicentennial coins) uses the same strike method as the normal business strike issues (as apposed to proof). Here are two sources to back up my reasoning (emphasis is mine)... Quote:
Business strike is a term that distinguishes coins created for commerce from commemorative coins and proof coins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_strikeQuote:
business strike
- a coin produced for general use and circulation. Non-business strikes would be coins such as proofs, and special uncirculated coins or sets not intended to circulate. http://lynncoins.com/dictionary_of_...ng_terms.htmI can agree that the 1970-D was possibly intended for circulation (a business strike), but later resolved to only exist in sets. However, the uncirculated 1976-S Quarters and Half Dollars were most definitely not meant to circulate. They are, as I see them, "a special uncirculated coin that was not intended to circulate" (a non-business strike). I think ultimately this is going to be a difference of opinion on how a term is used. There may not be a true consensus on the definition, because every other source was ambiguous; I could not find one that referred to the uncirculated NCLT as being a business strike (to back up your side). I apologize for the off-topic shift away from the cents again.  If I could split this part of the discussion into its own topic, I would. However, once a thread gets above a certain size, only the Admin can split it apart. |

Those are BOTH excellent finds! I've never found a blank planchet nor a 31D. In fact, I'm not sure if anyone in this thread as found a 31D. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

I search steady, but not like some people do. Someone with a Ryedale found a 1914D, from a bank roll, in what was agreed to be AU+ condition a month ago. The thread on it, with photos is over at real cent, I left a comment to try to see if they've got an update on it.
