<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 62700, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m not meaning to imply that the coin isn&#039;t rare - it is. And you should be very proud of finding it. But typically an experimental planchet is one made of a new alloy or a new metal altogether. The term normally does not apply to a thicker planchet. That&#039;s all I meant. And I think that is why Judd changed his mind also about using the term to describe the coin. Could be wrong on that though.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree - no one can prove either way how the coins came to be. But one of the theories is that it was possibly struck on an Ethiopian 5 centimes planchet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
