John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/28/2009 10:31 am I would say if it's undated-one or two dollars and if it's dated around five dollars. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/28/2009 11:19 am Is it a Type I(blank) planchet or Type II(milled rim) planchet? If it has the milled rim, it is almost certainly genuine but without the milled rim, many pieces of metal can masquerade as a blank. An accurate weight can also help determine authenticity. A zinc planchet would be worth a few dollars if it is not corroded at all. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/29/2009 12:04 am Nice coop, I like it! I feel privileged to be the source of one of your reference photos ratman, Cent planchets are the most common and therefore the least expensive at $2-4. Nickels, dimes and quarters IMO would fall in the $5-10 range. Incidentally, I have managed to accumulate a couple sets of the Lincoln planchet types, and examples of nickel, dime and quarter planchets. I also have a silver dime planchet that I purchased when it was listed as a clad planchet, I made out pretty good on that one I am missing the half dollar, SBA, and golden dollar planchet but those dramatically increase in value so I may be missing them for a while... yotie, If you have the milled edge, I would have to say it is genuine and zinc tends to have a dull appearance. Planchets do not really have luster since luster is imparted by the cold metal flow of the striking process itself. Planchets also tend to be a bit rough and banged up but the striking process smoothes it out. Report this Post to the Staff
