20 cent 1987





Collecting error coins are very interesting. The more we look and search. the more error we may find. The same goes to me. Is thrill.  The above coin is quite interesting. The field is not smooth but I'm not sure whether is an error or not? Any suggestion?

1 cent 2002 ( unknown error )

Sometime we don't realize what we got in our pocket or what we keep. This is 1 cent 2002 which I kept for quite sometime. Looking closely on it, then I realize the stigma is look like all dots. It may look like "Grease Filled Die", but I don't think is grease filled die. What is your comment?


Normal stigma

This is the one I meant. Look closely and compared it  with the above.

20 cent 1973 unknown error

This is something I can't explain but it looks like struck through error.

10 cent 1992

 
 obverse and reverse

I'm not very sure what error to quote for this coin but certainly we can see the image of milled edge at the field of the reverse side. Can someone explain it?

50 cent 1997 error on edge lettering

Quite common to see weak strike/heavy strike on 50 cent edge lettering but for this particular 50 cent 1997, the 'N' become 'H'. As such, it reads 'HEGARA' instead of 'NEGARA'. Look like heavy strike on the edge. Just my opinion. What say you guys..?

50 cent 2005 alphabet error on edge lettering








'A' or arabic numeral.......? 

Most of us concern of error on the obverse and reverse of coins. I did checked on edge lettering which I found this. Standard reading of our 50 cent coin is BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA and looking at this coin it looks like arabic numeral. Any idea guys?

20 cent 1982 (unknown error)

Very interesting error.I really don't know what happened to this coin.I try to look in internet and discussed with my friends but no answer to the story. Partly, the image of the parliament is visible. Anyone knows....?

20 cent 2000 (unknown error)

This is the balance of  70 cents from my cigarette purchase at 7 Eleven section 16 Shah Alam. I saw the coin when the cashier opened the coins drawer and at that time I hope she will give this particular coin and ....yes..she purposely gave it to me...Did she know I want this coin..?Quite interesting. I'm not sure what is this..?

queen victoria 1884 1 cent coin

This is 1 cent Queen Victoria 1884. Quite interesting error on it. I wonder what is the error type. I've looked every angle of the coin but no sign of post mint error or human made error since the image of the  'T',' R','A' and ' I' are visible or was it happened at the mint. I'm not very sure of this error or it may  relates to error planchet. All comments are welcome. Tq
