Don't be so quick to file it away just yet JFeed. While the rim looks suspect there is some precedence. Interesting!  |

Might very well be worth the spend for sending into NGC - the HA example sold for 4800 inclusive of BP 5 years ago.

Yes, I would send it in to NGC since they have a history of these already..

Whoa....DOCC.......... My planchet sure does look a whole lot like the NGC one. Thanks for the information. I've never submitted anything for TPG and I need to do some research on how it's done. I appreciate ALL the input. |

The "blank" was in a zip lock baggie with four others that's been in my collection of cents for years. I don't remember when or where I got them , but three of them appear to be copper coated zinc due to the weight of 2.46, 2.35 and 2.48 grams. The fourth weights 3.028. None stick to magnet except the original posted one. Thanks again.  |

At the very least, a nice group of blanks!  |

The process might be a little overwhelming at first glance but it is actually straightforward and surely worthwhile for this piece. Edited by DOCC

Some of you have requested that I post a follow up after submitting this planchet to NGC. They determined that it was an "Ineligeble Submission" ..I am baffled because NGC has already certified four others in the recent past. I am convinced now more than ever that my planchet is another one of the experimental test blanks considered by the mint for use in the 1942/1943 steel change over. Thanks

Huh! thanks for the update, but that reason certainly sounds cryptic...  |
