Hello Matt...

If ya got something for sale, people might pay better attention if you stick it in the buy, sell, trade area.

Blanks are cool, just not my cup of tea. For anyone interested, however, I can say that 1943 cent blanks are hot items and are pretty scarce.

Hope anyone buying a blank coin has some way of knowing if it is really a blank coin or a slug. When I was a kid I knew a guy that worked in a factory where they made washers, bolts, nuts and stuff like that and when no one was watching they ran off blanks of just about every denomination. Most were steel, copper or brass. Most did not work in vending machines to well but some worked in the old fashioned phone booths if your old enough to remeber them. I've always wondered where they all ended up and when I see blank copper coins at a coin show I just smile and walk away.

Type 1 blanks, I've always wondered about it they were just slugs or not, but the type 2, the ones that ran throught the setup process is hard to miss and hard to duplicate without the right equipment.
