<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 3186507, member: 20480&quot;]I guess I must be missing some information, as I recognize Type 1 blank planchets as having been punched and not upset, and Type 2 blank planchets as having been both punched and upset.&nbsp; My understanding is that any polishing, burnishing or other treatment of the planchets would be described supplementary to the planchets being characterized as either Type 1 or Type 2.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you had a coin intended to be struck on a polished planchet, but which missed that step in the process, yet it had upset rims, would you describe it as a coin struck on a Type 1 blank / Type 2 planchet?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If so, how then would you differentiate that coin from one similarly made with a planchet was <u>not</u> intended to be polished?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not eager to assign descriptions based solely on what NGC chooses to put on their labels, especially when it is inconsistent with descriptions longer held by the marketplace.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, I am eager to gain an education, as long as I can invest confidence in the source.&nbsp; Please take no offense, but I&#039;d like [USER=86437]@Fred Weinberg[/USER] to weigh in on this subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
