I wonder how much those will be sold for in the aftermarket ?

but they don't release planchet specifications ..


they don't even recognize it in their literature



but mention it in the verbage ...

 

I notice it is childish in its designs and directed more towards the youth.

 

yes it is

 

cool.

 

that's limited to 50,000 2019 penny planchets

so .... is that still considered an error?
Are the TV guys gonna' slab 'em at MS69/70 and sell them for a mint (pun intended)?

Are these coins (and the planchet) "gotta have" for those that do those type sets?

 

How many sharks is the mint going to jump this year? FFS SMH

 

The mint's new marketing strategy revealed.

 

so the TV guys ... these won't for qualify "FIRST STRIKE" slabs because they weren't actually struck !!
LOL

 

It's the exact same thing as a struck cent!
But it's blank

 

I was wondering, if you look closely at the specifications on the back of the package it shows the planchet has a slightly smaller diameter than the cent. Does it expand in the minting process or are these not the real planchets?

 

The specifications for composition and weight will be the same, diameter will be slightly smaller.

And yes they do "expand" in the minting process. The planchets have to be slightly smaller so the will drop easily into the collar, and then as the dies come together the metal gets forced outward radially until it reaches the collar which determines the final diameter of the coin.

 

Planchet is 0.012 inch smaller in diameter than the struck cent .. if my eyes are working correctly.

 

I would think these would be pretty simple to duplicate.

 

I would think the historical value will increase if all coins and the planchet are left in the original packaging. Hopefully, the "rocket" and this packaging will increase participation by youngsters, but the reality is that adults will purchase most of these sets and squirrel them away.

 

Will the album makers make a hole for them?

 

it'll have to be slightly smaller than a regular struck cent lol

you would think they will sooner or later. Packaging hasn't limited demand on some stuff, it's actually increased it. So I would expect maybe the planchet to gain some following even if it isn't really a coin yet; albeit short term probably.

either way, I get my 2 copies tomorrow even though my kids aren't interested in them.

 

No.. I don't think so.

 

Why not?
