<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3098138, member: 92083&quot;]This detached manganese outer layer blank is labeled as a Type 1 Blank. Pretty sure the label is wrong despite it not having a rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>Though Type 1 blanks do not have rims as Type 2 planchets do, this type 1 blank I believe actually is a type 2 blank. Not a type 2 planchet, but a type 2 blank...yes, there is such a thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has definitely been burnished (polished), which if polished it was also likely annealed, washed and dried, which would make it a type 2 blank. I can&#039;t look at it to know if it was annealed, but it was definitely polished despite its rough condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Never saw a detatched manganese layer, so of course I had to have it to add to my blank and planchet collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]783508[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]783510[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]783512[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
