<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2787658, member: 66"]No. There could be a slight chance that a rejected 90% silver proof planchet might be able to get to the Denver mint, but not Philadelphia. And 5.7 grams would be SERIOUSLY underweight. Can't be a foreign planchet because the mint stopped striking foreign coins in 1984. Not likely to be a foreign planchet mixed in with blanks coming in from an outside contractor because the only blanks coming in were cent blanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is REALLY unlikely you would have a silver planchet that much underweight, but if you really want to try and confirm it a specific gravity test should be your next step. Ricko mentioned the dimensions but there is no real way to check the thickness dimensions of a struck coin, so SG is the best option. My vote is on silver plated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
