Blank found in 1964-D OBW roll of cents.

OMG!

Looks like this on both sides. Is it real?

The roll was OBW (original bank wrapped).



The oval shape was just from the angle I took the photo.

Looks real to me,nice find! I think that would be a type 2, but I am not sure. Someone will though!

 

Is it copper? Looks silvery in the pic.

Anyway it's a blank upset planchet. If it's copper, it's worth a couple of bucks. If it's silver, quite a bit more.

 

What's even cooler is that since this is OBW, I know what year and mint it is!

 

It's copper. It was reflecting something making it look silvery.

 

It does have a "rim" on it. I thought the rim was from the die process?

 

They upset the rim prior to striking, but the retaining collar adds the reeds if applicable, and keeps the planchet the proper size so that the metal is forced into the crevices of the die and not out the edges.

 

No, they upset the rim before striking, here's what it says on the Coneca website.

Nice find!!!!

 

Yes but you are the only one who does and you can't prove it to anyone else so it just becomes a regular generic planchet.

 

???

 

Year and mint specifies when and where a coin was struck.

Your planchet was never struck and therefore, isn't a coin, and doesn't need a mintmark or year.
