I am sorry for the long hiatus.

I was, and still being infected by syndrome of busy and hectic life.

Increasing workloads, papers, and books to read, and massive inputs from those numismatic sifus that I met recently are the top two things that made unable to spend long time in front of my computer.

As the Malay saying goes, "Jauh perjalanan, luas pemandangan" - the farther you travel, the more you know.

For the images posted above, this is my recent discovery of Malaysia error coin among my loose coins.

For this coin, a Die Crack Rim-to-Rim (RTR) can be seen with a tiny cud from a chipped die (refer image 3).

Interestingly, the Die Crack is quite similar to my specimen here of year 2003.
