    Well that is kindof hard to say without any photos.....could you post photos?
    It could be a damaged coin---or it could be an error---or it could be a blank planchet.
    The Blank Planchet is what I'm leaning to---and that is what it sounds like from your post---it would be worth about $1-$2.

    How cool would it be to find a penny that was a perfect strike but all the lettering and the year were gone due to some freak mint error or planchet problem.

    I think he means he has a blank planchet, at least thats what I read into the question. Interesting to know if it is a type I or II

    A type 2 has gone through the upsetting machine so there is a rim on the blank...most planchets people find at TY2.

    Ok so the one I have has no rim which would make it a type 1 ?

    There is a good chance but it would also be "rarer" (Still not worth over a few dollars)----post a photo and maybe we can tell what it is.
    Sometimes the rim is hard to see.

    I have a type 2 penny, no marks and no rim.
    Is that rare?

    First, welcome to the neighborhood!

    You do realize that this thread is almost 11 years old don't you?

    A blank is one that has been cut from the sheet of metal but has not gone through the upsetting mill, and a planchet is one that has gone through the upsetting mill and has an upturned rim.

    You say that your coin has no rim which would ordinarily make it a blank, but without photos, it's impossible for anyone to know for sure. Can you post photos?
