[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 7781783, member: 19165"]Well, lets get some terms straight first: A "blank" is the round piece of metal punched from the strip (you may also see this sometimes called a Type I Blank). A "planchet" has been through the upset mill and has raised rims, ready for striking (you may also see this sometimes called a Type II Blank). A "slug" is a garden pest with a low tolerance to salt. Asking about a "blank planchet" introduces confusion, and is redundant. Blanks and Planchets are both fairly common in modern series, and have a fairly low premium for common types (zinc pennies are very common). Finding silver planchets is less common, and will thus have higher premiums.[/QUOTE]
