<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 750886, member: 66&quot;]I wish they wouldn&#039;t cale them struck on foreign planchets unless they can explain where the planchets came from.&nbsp; The mint only struck or made foreign planchets that early for two countries.&nbsp; Venezuela in 1876 and 77 and Hawaii in 1883.&nbsp; The Hawaii pieces were struck in San Francisco so that lets them out, and none of the Venezuela coins were that heavy (2.5 grams max and it was too big to fit in the nickel coining chamber.)</p><p><br /></p><p>So since the mint wasn&#039;t striking coins for other countries at the time, or making planchets for other countries, and they had never made coins or planchets of that size and weight for others, where did thie &quot;foreign&quot; planchet come from?&nbsp; (And if it isn&#039;t a &quot;foreign planchet&quot; where does a round piece of scrap metal come from?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
