Cent Blank

I was wondering what it's worth. Im guessing $2.

Possibly a dollar or two depending. The ones without the upset rim are more desirable IMHO.

 

If it does not say the word ONE CENT then it has no value..

Kidding.. $2.00 - $4.00 is a good value

 

K thanks.

 

But, it is harder to prove that it is truly a blank without the upset rim that makes it a planchet.

Thats a good point. Unless I were to find one without the upset rim in a box, im not sure how I could check if it was authentic

 

The weight would be one way to check.
3.11 grams for a copper blank and 2.5 grams for a copper plated zinc blank
But take into account a +/- variance when weighed.

 

Yeah i was thinking of that, but ive actually researched forgeries and its amazing to what lengths they will go. Some are nearly the exact weight.

 

I had a blank that I found in an original Mint bag. I submitted it to NGC for authentication, and they rejected it.

About 2-3 dollars.

 

Wow

 

Well, how was I supposed to know that it would be in the Mint bag? Had I known, I could have submitted the whole unopened bag to them, but that would have costed a fortune for 5,000 coins.

I also understand their position because they would, in effect, be guaranteeing the authenticity of the blank.

Yeah, there's no way of telling what's in an unopened mint bag. i just fini9shed another box without finding much. Only a couple die cracks, an RPM, and a 2009 ddr.
