Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 5:54 pm I got this a few months ago from a good friend of mine, I know that it's an unstruck coin.. but I would like to know what this was intended for? I made a comparrisment with 2 Eurocent, but it's like a millimeter bigger It's probably like looking for a needle in a haystack.. Edited by Kingz 09/07/2011 7:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 9:25 pm Would an unstruck planchet be slightly smaller than the final coin? This Denmark 50 Øre is 21.5mm and 4.29gr--closest I found in Europe. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 11:38 pm Yes, an unstruck planchet would be smaller in diameter than the resultant coin. To give you an idea of the difference, my Lincoln planchets are 18.2-18.3mm in diameter. I still haven't gotten around to putting a micrometer on my planchets for other denominations Report this Post to the Staff
