Hello everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR,
I picked up 2 boxes of pennies(CWI rolls), and $310 worth of dimes(1 CWI box & $60 hand rolled)

My 6 year old daughter was helping me search for wheats(starting her out young LOL!) and with a strange voice yelled "what is this"... I took the penny from her hand and realized it was a blank planchet. This is the first one that I have ever seen. Not sure of the numistimatic value but it sure is neat.
Other than that is was about an average day, maybe a little low on the wheat count but everything adds to the total.

Here is totals:
2 pre 1941 wheats
17 1941 - 1958 wheats
1964 very high AU grade

2 silver dimes 1963(very high AU grade)
1964

Here is the picture for the planchet. The other side looks the same.

Happy Hunting,
Jason

Very cool. If for no other reason than they are so rare to find!

:-)
 

Wow, that is a sweet find! And what luck for the little lady to find it. Id say that it is, oh, about 100% offcenter!
 

Nice!
I found one tonight.
Got 6 last year.
Worth about $1 on ebay.
