Rarity:RRR/UNC
Malaysia.Rare Date.1971.10 Cents.Die Variety.
At Malaysia Numismatic Society Auction No.150 which was held on 18 December 2011at National Museum, Lot No.14 was a Malaysia Parliament rare date 1971,10 cents coin in EF condition at a reserve price of RM150 was realised at RM360.Why?
A same piece of 1971 10 Cents coin in BU condition was sold for RM350 to RM380 as the current market price but why this piece in EF condition at the 150th MNS auction last Sunday was bidded and realised at such a high price,why is it so special?

Actually this rare date 1971-10 Cents coin in EF condition in MNS 150th Auction is a Die Variety coin .

Many coin collectors are not aware that Malaysia rare date 1971 10 Cents coin has two varieties.

Variety 1 (For Circulation)
First variety was released for normal circulation.It is darker and dimmed in colour,the milled edge was bevelled.Is extremely difficult to find a piece in UNC/BU condition today.

Second variety was minted in proof  like condition,always in BU condition.It has squared milled edge.On the reverse,the device "MALAYSIA",there is always a small 'dot' in between alphabet "L" and "A". i.e."MAL'AYSIA". It was made to believe that in the collection of collectors,majority of them were the second variety.
Variety 2.(Proof Like)


RSP:RM600/UNC.

  4. Hi Dickson,
    You are really great.
    Without your good guidance, many of our hard found error and variety coins would have been just that, as they were when we first got them.
    These special coins would have gone unnoticed in our collections, with us not knowing they were indeed different from the rest.
    A big big sincere thank you to you, Dickson.
    Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and family, Dickson :)

  6. Depankanta,
    Tentang cerita pasal syiling ini ditempa versi khas untuk kegunaan luar negara,lebih tepat ialah versi proof like ditempa untuk kegunaan buat coin set tetapi entah kenapa telah dibatalkan!

  8. Hi Mr Dickson,
    Thank you so much for sharing this info! This invaluable information is very important to our numismatic scene. Now I realized why the BU 1971 10 sen offered for sale online are always silver-colored, mirror like surface. Now apart from my Sultanate Coins and Error Coins, I should keep my eyes on this Variety Coin too!
    Thanks for sharing! :D

  16. Hello Dickson,

    I just LEARNT that there are two varieties of 10 SEN 1971! Despite having the coin since 2008 in my collection.

    I have copied your photo and some of your story into my site, and I hope it is OK since the website is not for commercial rather for education/info resources.

    By the way, if you dont mind, looking at my coin here, what do you think which variety it belongs to?

  17. Hi Aleph Prime,
    You may use any materials from my Blog as long it is intended for numismatics educational purposes.
    And I had seen your 1971 10 cents,it is the "proof like","L" with a dot,the second variety (V II).
    98% of numismatist collected V.II 1971 10 cents.
