jason39305 Pillar of the Community United States 743 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 5:48 pm So, I'm an architect as some of you might know, and I'm currently working on a project for our city. I was meeting with the department which handled the parking meters and they had a cup filled with foreign coins that were pulled from the meters. I asked for the cup and they gave it to me. Needless to say, I was pretty excited. So I did a quick gloss over and there were many Canadian quarters and UK 10 pence, etc. I did find one silver Japan 100 Sen, an interesting transit token, a Mexican 10 centavos and what I believe is a quarter blank planchet! Y'all chime in and let me know if it is a blank. No reeds are present. Edited by jason39305 12/07/2022 6:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25076 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 5:54 pm What a great haul, Jason! As for the potential quarter planchet, weight and diameter are needed. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
jason39305 Pillar of the Community United States 743 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:12 pm I have another quarter planchet in my collection, so I pulled it out to compare. The dimension matches and it has the slight chamfered edge as well. As for the weight, I don't have a scale. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95432 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:12 pm pretty nice haul. I'm curious about the type 2 quarter planchet Collecting since 1972.

jason39305 Pillar of the Community United States 743 Posts	Posted 05/07/2024 5:43 pm Went by City Hall today and stopped by and the Parking manager had some reject coins again for me. It was pretty full of Canadian quarters and other world coins. The only good ones were a 1936 UK six pence (silver) and a 1953 UK six pence. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 05/07/2024 5:53 pm Surely a quarter blank has all the correct physical specifications for a quarter, except perhaps diameter. Why would it be rejected by a parking meter? The fact that it failed indicates to me that it's probably not a quarter blank. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
