Zinc planchets go for around $1, but sent free from the mint? Who knows! Did they send you a letter with the coin? If you have documentation that they sent it to you it could make a big difference in price. I've never seen a mint issued free sample with an error included. Keep everything that was sent with the coins!

They were selling those for awhile and they also distributed them at some event. Maybe the ANA last year. |

If it's mint issued it has to have at least some value over a normal planchet. Thanks for the info, Conder. I'm going to start looking for one now!

They give these to clubs by the dozens to hand out to youths in educational settings. Zinc planchets are worth a buck or so. I still have at least 10 of these I was given as instructional tools in teaching coin collecting merit badge to the scouts. They are in a box with pencils, bookmarks, and little bags of shredded money I give to my scouts when they come to me to work on the merit badge.

By the way - these are technically not error "coins" - because to be a "coin" in the first place, they would have had to have a design struck onto them. These are simply blanks that were made to become coins and never got that far.

He posted another photo of the 2010D and it didn't have the "mark" that the original photo did - so, I assume it was just the plastic.
