Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteWow, a really nice specimen.
Can we call it a double denomination and wrong metal error together?
Surprisingly the 1sen image fits so well into the smaller 5sen planchet.
By the way, could the weak strike of the 5sen coin the result of the thickness difference between the 1sen and 5sen?
Hehe, very interesting specimen.
Congratz and thanks a lot for sharing, Dickson :)
Hi whycollect,

How ever the chances of weak strike of the 5sen coin the result of the thickness difference between the 1 cent and 5 cents are quite impossible.Actually,the thickness and diameter of the two denomination are not much of different, i.e.thickness of 1 cent=1.25mm vs 5 cents=1.04mm and diameter: 1 cent=17.78mm vs 5 cents =16.25mm respectively.
