I’ve never seen an off-Center AGE - partial collars, broadstrikes, etc. but not any off- centers;
Doubtful we will ever know the year of that gold type 2 planchet

Does museum collect mint error? I was checking on Shanghai museum coin collection the other day on one of the coin zoins posted, I only found couple of the mint error copper coins. I also checked ANA Society collection I only found about 40 of them. I wonder when museum can start a section for mint errors. Maybe Zoins can start a topic on this.

Dr. A. K. Berry donated his error coin collection to the ANA Museum, but I'm not sure how much effort the ANA spends promoting it or error coins in general. Are any of the ones you found pedigreed to Dr. Berry?
I was told that all of the grading services stopped grading planchets years ago. I had to buy one in an old slab for my collection. Anyone know when this was slabbed? Why isn't the date put on the slab? They know what box it came from. I've got an off-center coin with the date 198( ) on the label.
@Zoins, This piece was for sale a few years ago, with NGC'S coveted "First Day of Issue" Looks almost Perfect 68/69 to me:
other than that the Explore & Discover Set 1C Blank Plantchets in this discussion and the piece that I own, I have not seen a First Strike designation for any other Blank Planchets.

Siiick!!
Amazing planchets @Vorpaledged! Thanks for sharing those!
The only First Strikes I've seen are from the Explore & Discover Set, which are plentiful, but not as exciting as if it was an unexpected planchet!

One wonders how this left the mint and if it was accounted for.

I also wonder how this lot got out of the mint. It might be easier than the gold blank planchet.

I assume it might be easier given that these are made of base metals and there were too many golden dollars struck.
At $13 a piece, people are doing really well selling these on eBay!

I found this one is pretty interesting.
James Sego (PNG) had stated that he received this back from PCGS after sending in a Silver Eagle Monsterbox:
I found a Ken. Half blank in a mint roll once and it was all of an MS60. It looked like it was found in a parking lot.
PCGS AU58 and PCGS AU53 have been added!

Very cool! It would be great for there to be a Monster Box or First Strike pedigree
Has anyone ever seen a First Strike label on a blank planchet?
