Although in Steven Tan's Standard Catalogue of Malaysia,Singapore, Brunei Coin And Paper Money, it was listed that this Malaysia rare Transitional Error Malaysia 1976 Copper Cent only 100 pieces known to exist, to my knowledge, so far my gathered information are about 75 pieces known to exist but only less then 50 pieces are in uncirculated condition. May be there are more pieces still running loose out there, good luck to you to find them.
Hi..I have two 1976 1 cent coin in my collection. both have slight color differentiation. one weight in at 1.6gm and the other at 2.0gm Can you tell me how to judge if one of this may be the rare traditional error coin?
ReplyDeleteJeffrey,
ReplyDeleteThe actual weight for copper cent is.1.94gm and copper clad steel is 1.74gm. Use magnets, if not attracted to magnets then is a copper cent!
