<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3121402, member: 92083&quot;]I won this on Great Collections today. Though I usually always get struck coins featuring full dates, this &quot;No Date&quot; piece was too unique to pass up featuring three Mint errors. </p><p><br /></p><p>1. It is struck on a 47% clip.</p><p>2. It is broadstruck.</p><p>3. It is struck on a Type 2 Blank (the label is wrong; it is not a Type 1 Blank). Though it does not have a rim - making it a blank - it is both burnished and annealed, thus is a Type 2 Blank...not a type 2 planchet (with a rim), but a type 2 blank.</p><p><br /></p><p>MS64 by PCGS. Enjoy!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]794307[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]794308[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Please allow me to illustrate the difference between a type 1 and type 2 blank with two unstruck Eisenhower pieces from my collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>Below is a type 1 blank. This was struck by the coin press but was never sent to the annealing oven and is not burnished (polished). Notice it is very dull and flat in appearance with not a hint of shine to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]794313[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Now compare the surface of the above coin to the one below, which still has no rim, but has that polished look as it has been burnished and annealed. That is a type 2 blank. Again, neither of these have rims, so they are both blanks, but one was burnished and one was not, making two different kinds of blanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]794315[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
