    Here I have a blank 3 blank planchets and 1 unknown. It is 19mm around, 1.9 (just short of 2mm) (same as Quarter) and weighs 6.55 Grams. Is this also a blank planchet.

    The rim and size makes me think quarter; however 6.55 Grams. Thats way off. Maybe another country?

    insight appreciated.

    The others are obviously a dime and 2 pennies ;-)

    Your size does not make sense. 19 mm around would be 6.05 mm in diameter or smaller than a silver three cent piece. 19 mm in diameter would be the same size as a Lincoln cent and it is obviously larger than the cent planchets you have.

    Sorry I meant the dimensions are 24.3 mm, same as a quarter

    Maybe a proof planchet since they weigh in at 6.5

    It could be a blank proof quarter since they weigh 6.5

    It's a slug.

    It is not a blank or planchet
    from any US Mint facility.

    I had a coin blank just like that weighing 6.5 to. They told me it was nothing so I threw it away

    I realize this is a 2 year old post:

    In response to a 7 year old thread.

    But I have to disagree that proof quarter planchets would weigh 6.5 grams.
    The blank is showing copper, and would be almost 1 gram lighter at 5.67 g.
    Please educate me if I am wrong.
