mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 10/31/2023 10:57 am This is a 95% copper coin, and after leaving the mint these coins are exposed to many things leading to many different minor color variants, especially our skin oils toning the surface to varying degrees. Yours has most of the original mint luster and looks lightly circulated. From what I know, "missing obverse planchet" is a strange term that is a new one on me Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 10/31/2023 2:26 pm Your coin is just toning but it looks like it is in nice condition with a strong strike. I would keep it in a 2x2, if you do not have 2x2 then keep it from getting a scratch on it with no more finger prints for prints will stay on coins. It only cost you 1 cent to hold onto it.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96580 Posts	Posted 10/31/2023 8:52 pm missing obverse planchet? The object that a coin is struck on is called a planchet - the whole thing. Once it is struck, is is called a coin, medal or token Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
