Nice. Looks like a Type 2 - with up raised rim which would make it a Blank Planchet not a Type 1 Plain Blank.. as stated on the holder

I think that was what the seller was referring to as the 'rolled edge'.

 

Umm.......it states that it is a "Blank Planchet" on the 2x2.

i have one of these too. Whats the difference between a blank planchet and a plain blank?

 

The term blank and planchet is often used interchangeably.

A blank is the circular (or other shape for world coins) piece of metal punched out of a roll of coin metal creating metal disks destined to be coins. These are called Type-1 Blanks (Or often Type-1 Planchets).

From there the metal disks are processed through an upsetting machine/mill which raise the rims. At this point, they are Type-2 Planchets.

Some folks use Type-1 Type-2 Blanks, some Type-1 Type-2 Planchets, some call Type-1 Blanks, Type-2 Planchets. Many print references flip between the terms, so long as you understand there are two stages before the coin is struck you should be OK using any of the terms.

 

Thanks Strike Out!

 

Yes I noticed.. woke up 2:30 am to get ready to work. Took a quick look at CoinTalk and saw this thread. Still was half asleep!!! Leave me alone

 

I hope you aren't a high steel worker. I wouldn't want you falling asleep on the job.
