    Here's a PCGS MS62 in gold in an older holder.

    Since it's a Type-2 with upset rims, it seems like we should be able to date it if we had a matching off center coin!

    Any thoughts @FredWeinberg? Have any new discoveries come up to let us date this?

    I like this one. Gold planchet is rare.

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

    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

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

    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!

    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?

    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.

    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?

    @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.

    ...but in other news -

    Siiick!!
    UPDATE This Double Eagle blank(Not a Planchet since it doesn't yet have Upset Rims, think I learned that from FRED...) I had made a Rare Mint Error List for a popular Dealer who had found the owner of this piece, who quoted a price of "$40,000" That's Nutz!! I mean, yes it's Super Rare but $40k...imo there are other Spectacular Mint Errors out there for that price but if you're a Blank/Planchet Collector, it would be a Centerpiece for sure.

    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!
