Blank Planchet, Stage II, VF20
Blank Planchet, Stage II, VF20. Slightly glossy medium brown and light chocolate with a couple splashes of darker olive brown. Both sides display a few hairline scratches and the surfaces are covered with the usual tiny imperfections that normally come with blank planchets. The rims are upset (stage II of the preparation process) but it is uncertain whether or not this planchet was intended for a half cent. The diameter is a bit large, 24.0 versus the normal 23.0 millimeters, and the weight is 93.9 grains versus the standard of 84.0 grains. My guess is no. Davy #58.1.5.
Estimated Value $100-UP.

Provenance: Ex Don Valenziano 8/18/1992.
