blank planchets

Saw 2 blank penny planchets at the coin shop and was wondering are these worth getting or just junk?

I don't know what they are worth, but I wouldn't mind having a couple.

 

Well, Lincoln penny planchets are worth 1$

 

I think they were like .50 cents but I didnt know if it was really just junk

 

Copper plated zinc pennies are that is.

 

so...I should try and find them again in the junk bin and buy them?

 

If you're interested in them, yes. Plus they're at good price, assuming there is nothing wrong with them. They might be worth a little more than a dollar. That is just what a website says.

 

Don't Do It!

 

reason?

The planchets looked fine to me. Looked like they were for recent canadian pennies

 

And at .50 cents, you can't go wrong.

 

I guess I will look for them, besides, kind of a novelty thing..lol

 

yeah they're pretty cool,
I have one, pretty sure its copper...?

anyways, it was in my grandpas little collection, said he found it in change one day and decided to keep it, its fairly circulated though - somehow! lol

 

maybe he just kept it in a bunch of junk and thats what made it look circulated

 

I have a few of each denomination, and coupled with partially struck ones, they offer a better picture of what goes into the making of a coin.

 

blank coins usually sell for $2-$3, i'd buy them.

 

the mint sells them in the beginners basic set 5E1

 

Do you mind sharing the website address?

yeah, thats possible too

At 50 cents to a dollar ya can't go wrong.
And, they are both interesting and a conversation piece.
