Blank Kennedy half planchet - Anyone else?

[65gt350]

Well the 2001-D are not done in California yet, but at least they provided an interesting coin. I finally found a blank planchet in the half dollar size.

Has anyone else found one?

I just got my boxes of 2001-D's... Did not look through them.. did you get it through a new roll?

Do you have a pic? Kind of cool to get a blank planchet.. I've never gotten one.

Yeah it was in a new roll. I open them all up looking for clips and such. Here is a pic of a planchet.

Thats pretty sweet! Havent found a half dollar one yet, only a penny.

 

[dave5710]

Me too, only a penny. Do you mean 2011 -D? Or am I missing something with 2001 -D?

Until the OP chimes in, I'm assuming the 2001-D. As the Fed releases new coins in a district, they draw upon their stockpile. It seems 2001-D and 1996-P are the flavor of the past couple of years.

No, 2001-D is correct. That is the most recent date of production for intended for circulation half dollars. I got my two boxes of 2001-d's on Thursday. I didn't open them, just dumped them at my dump bank.

Very cool.. wasn't going to open any but will now just to see if I can get one.

I wonder when the attack of the 2001-D's will stop. It's like we go a couple weeks of circulateds, then a couple weeks of new coins, and back and forth.

So do you guys specifically ask for new coin? Or is that just what happens when the vault runs out of a stockpile of halves?... Pretty interesting there, is the blank planchet worth anything?

 

[wirebender]

Just found one tonight most likely a 2001-d there are a ton of them in my boxes. California flat boxes
Looking for value anyone?

A lot of roll hunters take solid rolls of new coins straight to their dump without check them. This is a good reason to go though them. Even if you don't go over all the coins with a magnifying glass, you can spot clips and blanks and other major errors that don't last long in circulation. A nice error like this in uncirculated condition is worth more than silver!

 

[BuffaloBoy]

cool find! even if not too valueable, it could be a story piece. hh!

I have a blank quarter I found in the till when I tended bar.

I only have gotten a copper penny blank and its blank on both sides. have had it for years.

A blank planchet is always blank on both sides.......no
It seems to me that if you found a coin that had been stamped
only on one side, you would have a coin worth a fortune.
Wouldn't the stamping mill operator at the mint have to take
out one die and replace it with a blank die in order for a
coin to be stamped on only one side?

Yes, why you will never find one sided coin. If you do its PMD (post mint damage). Never found a blank planchet half, very interesting find.

There's a kind of error where a coin gets stuck to one die, then other blanks continue to get fed and struck, and the stuck coin gets increasingly smooshed out creating something called a "die cap". Both the cap and the coins that were struck through it are spectacular and valuable errors, and some of the resulting "struck-through" coins will appear blank, nearly blank, weakly struck or lumpy on one side but appear mostly normal on the other.

So a one sided "blank" coin may not just be post-mint-damage.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

check and see if the planchet has a high rim, if the rim isn't raised, the planchet could be worth more.

Yes die cap strikes are the exception but you will can tell it has been struck through. Blank sides do not exist.
