I found this blank planchet in a mixed bag of US and foreign coins I had stored away. The planchet if one inch in diameter, .20 oz or 5.6 grame 1/16 inch thick Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 5:54 pm Either your scale is way off, or it's a planchet of a foreign coin. 5.6 is much heavier than a pre-82 cent (normal would be 3.11 grams. I should you weigh any pre-82 cents to see what they weigh of your scale and go from there. If you found this among foreign coins, maybe it's related to them rather than a U.S. cent. And besides all this, a totally blank true U.S. cent planchet is basically worthless. Worth the cost of copper scrap only. Sorry. Keep searching! to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
