Description
Blank Planchets. This group of two blank planchets was consigned by ANA President David L. Ganz. To the casual observer these two pieces may seem relatively bland, but they are certainly not lacking in historic importance. The first item is a blank aluminum planchet. These were distributed on March 27, 1974 at the hearing of the House Subcommittee on Consumer Affairs and Coinage. These blank planchets were handed out to demonstrate the size and weight of the proposed cent coinage struck in aluminum. It was during this time also that a number of cents were actually struck on aluminum planchets and distributed to key congressmen and other officials, 12 of which were never returned. The planchet weighs .48 grams and is 18.72 mm. in diameter. There are numerous signs of handling on each side, but no oxidation.
The second item is a magnimat dollar blank with an upset rim from DVM. This was struck in 1977-78 for coinage to have been issued in 1978. It weighs 4.20 grams and measures 26.34 mm. There are only small nicks noted and a smudge of some sort of verdigris on one side. A historically important and numismatically significant pair of planchets.
