 It's a Type II planchet.  The Type I blank is run through the 'Upset Mill' that adds the Proto-Rim to the flat blank disk. At that point the Blank becomes a Planchet. This helps the coin strike up properly as the surface of the planchet better matches the surface of the die. You can find error coins where the coin has been struck on a Type I Blank or a planchet with an inadequate upset that will show weak lettering around the edge. Here's an inadequate Upset error from my collection. http://goccf.com/t/354227 ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Cool to find one in circulation. At the annual coin show in my city, the coin club gives one of these free to kids who come to the show. They come wrapped in plastic along with a normal struck cent. Don't know where they get them. l gave one to the grandkids.  Edited by livingwater

My sister when she was a cashier many moons ago would get these in rolls all the time.
Not just the one cent ones but all denominations.
She said she would just throw them out.
I got on her case and told her if she had let me know I would have bought them from her each and every time.
