Blank Planchets

Just picked these up a couple of weeks ago. I just can't tell which side is the obverse and which side is the reverse. It is copper though.

You can't tell? It's easy! The obverse is the one that is struck by the obverse die.

Based upon the placement of the staples in the flip.... I deem photo #1 as the obverse..... Next problem please.

 

You're kidding right? It does not matter. It lands in the chamber to be struck either way.

 

Or.. Send It to a TPG.. However they mount it the front of the slab would be the Obverse and the back of the slab is the Reverse

 

You guys crack me up!

 

Yes, it just seemed like the thing to do.

 

There was a member once who thought Mint Marks were added to the coin after they were struck. Can you even imagine that. It would take eons just to accomplish such a task!

That was really funny!

 

If that was true the Mint would still be putting mintmarks on 2018 coins.I'll admit to memory lapses but not in this case. Lol

 

What are you talking about? You didn't say anything about die cracks. ~ Chris

 

I think they're still working on 2011....wham!.....2,006,800,000.....wham!..... 2,006,799,999.....wham!.....2,006,799,998.....wham!.....2,799,799,997..... ~ Chris

Oops! Corrected the count.

 

Can they really go that fast?

 

Well, it could be going faster, but the illegals refuse to complete a 1099. ~ Chris

 

You guys are silly
'Ya all know The flat side is the obverse

 

I never knew something so obvious could be so difficult to deal with.
