COIN BLANK OF MALAYSIA ONE DOLLAR COUNTERFEIT COIN.
Malaysia One Dollar/Ringgit Blank,1989-1996.
If your blank coin doesn't even have the upraised rim yet, it's technically a coin blank. A coin blank is the metal disc onto which a coin will be struck. The blank is punched in its round form from a strip of machined coin alloy, and then processed through the upsetting mill, which raises the proto-rims on the blank and turns it into a planchet.
If it is made of silver, it is almost impossible to authenticate, but if it's clad, an expert in error coins could probably authenticate it, in which case (if authentic) it's worth maybe RM50 or more. Keep in mind that a genuine coin blank will have a rough, perhaps sharp edge, and the blank may be off-color or grainy looking, depending on what part of the coin blank processing phase it was in when it left the mint.
Beware of nice, shiny looking coin blanks with no upraised rim and a smooth edge. These usually just counterfeit blanks made to deceive vending machines.Get an expert advice about your Blank Coin.
In all matters of this sort, it's best to get your blank coin weight!

Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteYes, we have come across this one too, with those concentric circles very obvious on its surface.
Unlike the genuine RM1 blanks, these counterfeit blanks are more commonly found among the loose change when the RM1 coins were still in circulation.
We observed another blogger has posted a specimen on his blog too.
Thanks a lot for pointing out this good reference specimen, Dickson :)
