It is a solid nickel planchet. I know that finished planchets (with edge lettering) are not especially rare judging from eBay, but I am wondering if the planchet I have is less common. I only paid about 7 or 8 euros for it, so I am happy with it either way, but I was curious.   12-11-2004, 09:44 AM   #2 (permalink) National dealer Numismatist   Join Date: Dec 2003 Posts: 3,387 A quick search through the internet shows many of the blank planchets in various stages. With the price paid, I would say that you got a decent deal. Would you post pic for us to see.   12-11-2004, 04:12 PM   #3 (permalink) chrisild Coin Collector     Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: NW · DE · EU Posts: 2,077 While I don't collect such pieces myself, I would also be interested in a picture. May be difficult with the edge lettering being visible, but perhaps you can do it ...? As for the price, that sounds good indeed. Franquinet sells such a planchet, with a Dutch edge inscription, at €45. Have a look at http://www.franquinet.de/frameset/ka...p?kategorie=10 and scroll down to the item # ROR489*NL ... Others are a little less expensive. But the "market" for such pieces is certainly smaller than for the coins. So prices will vary to a greater extent, I suppose.

Here is a picture of a 2 Euro solid nickel planchet.(Netherlands) Sorry for the bad picture, but I could not find a better one.   12-29-2004, 06:08 PM   #5 (permalink) chrisild Coin Collector     Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: NW · DE · EU Posts: 2,077 Quote: Originally Posted by Basti2 Here is a picture of a 2 Euro solid nickel planchet.(Netherlands) Thank you for the image! I do not actively collect error coins, but find looking at them very interesting. And I had not seen such an "edge inscription only" piece yet :-) Christian   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
