[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2853576, member: 59677"]Type 1 - properly a blank - as cut from the rolled metal sheets Type 2 - properly a planchet - has been run through the upsetting mill to create a proto-rim. They are not uncommon - the mint even included them several years ago to fill the extra spot in mint sets (somebody will remember the year(s)). Another problem is that the Zlincoln cent blanks are made for the mint by an outside contractor and not seen as particularly sensitive. No idea what kind of controls there are to prevent some from being diverted... Type 2s have to come from the mint and so are less common.[/QUOTE]
