cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 08/21/2010 02:01 am Got this out of a lot I bought on ebay. I knew the lot contained a blank cent planchet, but I didn't realize it was a Type I planchet (no upset rim) until I got it in the mail. I didn't buy the lot for this planchet. The lot contained an off center 1964-D that I really wanted! This planchet was just a bonus. I weighed it and it is definitely copper. If I'm not mistaken, the Type I planchets are a little harder to come by than the Type II planchets. Is this correct? Report this Post to the Staff

razorear Pillar of the Community United States 613 Posts	Posted 08/21/2010 08:45 am I've always known that no raised rim had a little extra value to it. I believe the steelie is double the price that of a copper blank. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 08/21/2010 09:31 am Nice little catch there. Blanks are scarcer than planchets. Never heard of diff. types on these. Where did you see this at ? I.E.: Type 1 and 2 Unless something changed, I always thought a blank is a blank and a planchet is a planchet. This copper you have is a blank. It has not been upset yet. If it had, it would be a planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
hockingzig Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 08/21/2010 09:47 am Sounds like another one of those confounded misuses of terminology that makes coppercoins so angry(and I am one that agrees terminology should be consistent). I never liked this type 1, type 2 terminology anyway because it doesn't describe the differences. A blank,defined as punched from the roll but nothing more done to it and a planchet, punched from the roll and the edge upset eliminates all confusion if we stick by those terms and definitions. Unfortunately,too many "coin experts" muddy the waters by using their own systems or misusing proper terminology. As they say,"if it's in print,it's a fact"!Thanks for listening to my tirade,I'll take my soapbox and go home now! Report this Post to the Staff
