They are not too uncommon, I think they used to give them to visitors at one of the mints at one time. Was there something specific you wanted to know? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94908 Posts	Posted 01/17/2026 12:34 pm We call this a 'Type 2 Planchet' because it has the proto rim created by the upsetting mill. If it were flat (with not proto rim, then we call it a 'Type 1 blank' Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
