uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 09:07 am Sharing a copper planchett that weights 3.9 gr that's too heavy for a penny , could it be just a copper slug or a foreign planchett ? ( I know it'd be hard to tell ) Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95527 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 2:21 pm Well I don't see a proto rim, so, not a planchet. Could possibly a type 1 blank, what country uses a blank this heavy?

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10514 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 6:43 pm I agree with spence. Looks like a cutoff from round copper bar stock and lathe turned on one side for some reason. Maybe beginnings of a homemade washer and they didn't finish. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 10:17 pm Not everything round and made of metal is numismatic. Yes, something punched this round piece of metal out of a metal sheet, and machined it either before or afterwards, but it doesn't seem to have been a precursor to making a coin or token. 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
