<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1954180, member: 26302"]Maybe, but on the other hand its a bronze disk. Usually the issue with unstruck planchets is PROVING IT. Since its not struck, this is a lot harder than you would think. Without a provenance, its going to take a lot of work to actually prove this item was intended for US coinage, was at one time owned by the mint, and just never got struck for some reason. All of this is required for it to have numismatic value. My advice is to seek out a EAC collector and ask him/her how they would best advise you of authenticating this as an authentic planchet. Short of this, how do we know it was just not a metalshop project at the local high school? That is the suspicion you will be up against. </p><p><br /></p><p>Best of luck Mike, and please let us know how it turns out for you. If it is an unstruck large cent planchet, you have a rare and very interesting item there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
