Grading Services for Planchets?

Do any of the grading services allow you to
send planchets in? I could've sworn I saw a picture of
a sac planchet on a slab, but i cant remember where. I've
got a couple I'd like to send off as "filler", but I dont
recall which service let you do that

Any help?

Thanks

NGC will even sometimes date them:

How silly is that? :-)

A few smart folks rounded up all they could during the first year of
production and both PCGS and NGC dated them. Couldn't have been any
other year.

Makes sense but it still seems very silly to me. I figure very few
people collect them by date and mint mark :-) and they probably look
quite a bit like 2001's and 02's and... :-)

It gets even sillier. Slabbing companies have been known to grade
blank planchets on the MS Sheldon scale. I've seen (online, not in
person) blank planchets graded PCGS-MS63, PCGS-MS64 and PCGS-MS65...
