How do you figure that it is a SCD planchet?

So which So-Called Dollar is it for???

Could it be a foreign coin or token planchet?

It looks very much like a 38mm US Mint bronze medal planchet. It would be tough to tell for sure though.

That's very cool! How did you pick it up?


I have a number of possible SCD planchets that I picked up from an old collection. Not sure how many, if any, can be positively identified. I'll leave that for later when I have more time, however, they are good candidates because I picked up up from an ex-manufacturer collection. They remind me of the planchets Dan Carr got with his press. It could be fun to get some some dies made that say something interesting about what manufacturer they are from.

My first thought. When I visited the Philly mint in the 1980's, I was able to purchase two planchets at the mint store to be struck into a mint medal. One I had struck and one I kept blank planchet.

I believe it is wishful thinking to assume it is a SC$ planchet. it might be, but more research would be needed to establish that as fact, such as what what is its age?? without knowing something like that it is virtually impossible to eliminate what it might have been intended for or where it may have come from. to that end, I don't believe the Mint made its own planchets, so if it came from a supplier it could be any number of things. I kniow that a company named Chase Brass and Copper Co., about 2 miles from where I was born and raised, used to make Cent planchets up until at least the 1970's.

The only blank planchet I have is a cent planchet... pretty obvious there.. Cheers, RickO
