[QUOTE=vwap;294591]Went through $200 in pennies this week, nothing real notable, filled a number of holes in the books, but I did end up with my first blank planchet..QUOTE]

Funny,i also came across my first blank planchet cent while roll searching a few days ago.
I'm thinking it's zinc also, do to the relative BU condition.
I,m going to weight it to confirm.
Does anyone else see a very faint impression of the observe or are my eye's playing tricks on me?

That's good because there has been plenty of times where I haven't. I still can't believe how often I get shorted on rolls of halves. With those rolls, you can see they are short before you even open them. The shortest roll I've gotten was 16 halves in a roll (and not even with something for filler)

searching two rolls of jeffersons I found:

a canadian nickel (worth more than th US one currently )
a 1942-P War nickel
a 1952-D
a 1962-D and
a 1967

the 67 is a Denver issue, but it has no mintmark <-------- food for thought there

Good idea! Say, I'll even throw in a few 1967 Denver and San Francisco minted cents, also without mintmarks!

Question, would one be able to positively ID a reverse die from a 1968D Nickel or Cent, then find a 1967 Nickel or Cent that was minted using the same reverse die?

That would be an awesome project.

I found a VF 1910 s Lincoln cent yesterday in a roll. And in the next roll of pennies I found a 1937 mercury dime, it's toned purple. Cool huh!
