    Fun find. That at least is the first real error out of the stuff I've seen you post. I've seen those go for a buck or so.

    There are 2 stages you need to know about -

    Blank - Is when the long sheets of metal, in your case copper, are first cut. They are completely flat all around the edge. This is called a Type 1 Blank

    Planchet - After the Blanks are cut they go through what is called the Upsetting Process, this gives the Blank the raised rim look. Now it is called a Type 2 Planchet

    Here are the examples from my collection -

    Copper and Copper Plated Zinc Blank Plachets..
    They don't carry a huge premium. I would say like $3 - $5 dollars

    Unless you can find one like a 1943 Steel Blank Planchet
    From my collection - $40 -$75

    Copper and Zinc planchets are still given away by the mint every year so ther isn't a huge premium associated withe them

    As others have said, it's only worth about a cup of coffee, but still a really cool find.
