[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7988867, member: 112"]Electric junction box punch-outs are always painted - none of those pictured are. So that kind of rules that out. By definition they are not planchets though because none of them have been upset, run through the upset mill in other words. But they could all be be blanks - and yeah that's a fine line but it is an important distinction. The only way I know of to determine if they are blanks or not would be to accurately measure and weigh each one. Once you have that information then you can search for coins with those specifications and reasonably know if they are blanks or not. If they are blanks, yeah they're collectible, but they have little if any value to speak of unless some of them are silver. Even then value would only be melt value. It doesn't really look like any are silver but it's possible.[/QUOTE]
