Mint issued cent & planchet
 

I've posted some scans on a.p.b.n.:

A mint issued cent and planchet set was provided gratis to the attendees
of the April meeting of the Greater Houston Coin Club. The woman who
distributed them pointed out the very high quality of the cent, so I've
included a larger scan of that.

That's an interesting item. Do you know if these were ever being sold by
the mint?

The cent & planchet set is a promotional item provided by the mint. The
lovely woman who passed them out gets palettes full of stuff from them
to distribute. I forget her name, but she said that she used to run the
Long Beach show and collects silver art bars. Maybe somebody else knows
who she is and how she operates.

I just searched and found out that Patti Finner was the person who
handed out the cent & planchet sets. She and her husband, Rollie are
pretty big in the Central States Numismatic Society. She is well known
for her educational contributions to numismatics, especially to the
Scouts. Her husband Rollie gave a wonderful presentation on the Norse
American Centennial medals at the GHCC meeting.
