    Nice! Find any W’s and if so are they Lowell or American memorial?

    Cool worth way more than the roll.

    Wonder if pcgs would grade it with being a W blank planchet?

    It is surrounded by "P" mintmarks

    PCGS would not slab it with a date/mm

    There's no way to proof the planchet came
    out of that roll, aside from the OP's statement,
    which I do not doubt at all.

    Notate that it came from an original roll,
    etc, date/mm etc., on a 2x2 flip - that's
    about all you can do - document it for
    yourself.

    Great find - happens, but very rarely.

    The W's get "sprinkled" into the P & D rolls. There are no "W" rolls. The OP was a Joke.

    I think that was an American Memorial blank that slipped into the Lowell hopper and didn't get struck. A double error...

    Actually, I think that is a capped die $5 gold commemorative struck on a quarter planchet. Should be worth $100k, easily!

    I got me a dated blank planchet :D:oB)

  • direwolf1972direwolf1972 Posts: 2,076 ✭✭✭

    I found one in mine as well during the first week of discovery.

    I had 68 West Points and a blank type II planchet dead in the middle of them.

    I stupidly sent it in for grading with my Lowell's and still haven't gotten my grades (arrived at PCGS April 16th).

    I was told that the error service is currently running 25 to 35 business days.

    I'll see the grades on my W's back sometime around Christmas it feels like. :neutral:

    Wow, you've lost a lot of profits waiting for grading.

    Did putting FD19 on the shipping box make a difference?

    Yes I put FD19 on the box. I agree I've taken a beating over this whole thing.
