spookyjr New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/01/2006 9:49 pm Blank on both sides. I found it in the cash register at work some time ago. It now has rub marks on it unfortunately, but it originally was mark-free and shiny. Is this uncommon? I wonder how it got into circulation... Could it be worth anything?

errorfinder Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 05/12/2006 4:24 pm blanks having no rims are the result of being punched out of long strips of sheet metal.can be seen as having one flat side and the opposite side being slightly rouded at the edge.after a blank has been through the upsetting mill;a revolving drum with a bunch of grooves in it with matching grooved fence set right next to the drum.the blanks are feed into this space (the groove) the blank rolls inside the revolving drum thus forcing the edge metal towards the center of the blank the effect is the formation of slightly raised edge metal .ie. 'rim' it is now a planchet. planchet's get anneled to soften metal tumbeled, washed, rinsed and loaded into coin press feeders finally arriving in the press transforming them into coinage...
