    Back in 2005, I opened a new roll of State Quarters and inside was a blank. Kinda cool to find or at least I thought it was. Yes it was a rare mistake from the mint, but it is blank, no date, nothing to show it is even a quarter. The materials are there to see, the nickel outer and copper inner layers. Anyone ran acoss this before?

    There is always a high danger that what you found is a slug and not a authentic unstruck blank. We would need pics to help you more sir.

    If the copper core is visible on the edge, then there should be no doubt that it is an actual blank from the Mint. Since a blank does not have an upset rim, the only time it might be questionable is when you cannot see the copper core on the edge.

    oops!

    I meant edge.

    but, it could be a Type 2 blank, with a rim

I did find this one at a time in my life that the passion was there but not the time. In fact it was put on the back burner for 12 years. I drug some of my stuff out this weekend and ran across it in a bag of silver Kennedy's. Have no idea why I put it there.
    I did at the time, do an internet search for others like it but nothing was mentioned of a find then. Thanks for the links. Here are a few pictures.

    Blanks are pretty hard to come by (in my opinion) because they have to bypass not only the upsetting mill but the coining chamber as well. Nice find!
