Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteWow, a 10sen struck on a 1sen planchet is already rare.
This 20sen struck on a foreign planchet must be even more rare.
Always love to see error coins which resemble yet another well struck coin like the 20sen wrong planchet error here.
Congratz Dickson :)
Hi Mr Dickson,
ReplyDeleteMy dream coin! This coin is very very suitable to fit together with my 10sen on 1 sen coin. The RTR Die Crack gives extra beauty to it. Nice catch!
Hi whycollect,
ReplyDeleteThe best thing on this error coin is, it is still in almost BU condition.Very Rare!

ReplyDeleteHappy to know its in good hands :)
If only we can trace it back on which planchet this coin was wrongly struck of. :D
ReplyDeleteMnfaj,
ReplyDeleteI am still doing my homework!
Hi dickson,
ReplyDeleteI'm still looking for which country coin with copper planchet accidentally struck with our 2005 20cents. Any idea which mint factory produce our coins in 2005?
Hi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteIn 2005, I believed our Mint is still under Royal Mint Shah Alam which was a private entity.
After they surrendered their business to BNM,I think it is not easy to trace their records of their customers.I will still try, I promised!
Thanks Dickson..
DeleteActually i did search high and low in Google,but aint got any clue on this..
Personally i dont think the mint will disclose their customer's database for confidentiality reason..
Hopefully this matter can be resolved someday so that we know which country coin was actually mixed with our 2005 20 cents and resulted in this magnificent masterpiece..
