    Today, I cracked open another new bank roll of 2010 quarters and found three more blank planchets! Now this has me wondering how many are out there. I have yet to hear of any others being found on any of the forums and now I have four of them.

    This was my first one:

    If Fred Weinberg offers to buy them from you, don't accept anything less than 50c apiece for them, and charge him $400 for shipping.

    I wonder how much shipping he'd be willing to pay for a roll of these?:D

    Not, that I've found a whole roll but I'm pretty sure I'll be dreaming about that tonight.

    Thats very unusual to find that many in a roll. Maybe the mint has found another way to cut costs? Less wear on the machinery and dies.

    Nice finds, dude. Finds like this are usually localized and come in batches, so...

    What's something like that worth? How could the layman tell the difference between that and just a circular piece of metal?

    They would have the copper sandwich and usually a raised rim. Also they would be the same diameter and weight as a regular quarter.
    Quarter planchets generally go for about 10 bucks raw and about 20 slabbed.

    These are Canadian quarters. The composition is 94.0% steel (unspecified alloy), 3.8% copper, 2.2% nickel plating. The correct terminology is "upset planchet". Being Canadian the values are a little higher $20-$40 but closer to the lower end is normal.

    Now that's funny!

    The quality control is lacking. The mint's new motto: "That's good enough."

    Canadian planchets? Man, that's a total of four for you. The gov owes you a dollar!
