MALAYSIA ERROR COIN DIE CLASH 1 SEN 1988

image 1: obverse of the coin

image 2: reverse of the coin

Hi everyone. Do you notice the ghostly marking of "1" (image 1) and parliament building (image 2) on this coin?

This marking is due to a type of error called die clash error. Die clash error happens when both dies clash each other without a blank planchet between them. This caused the design on the dies being transferred into the opposite die.

Die clash error is a very common error and very seldom hold premium. But nevertheless still is one of my favourite type of error coin to collect. This is because my first error coin collection is a specimen of die clash error. Refer here in my old post.

Error Coin Malaysia 1 sen 2005 die crack die clash

Received this coin from my collector friend, thanks gsk.

Beautiful luster, intriguing die break and mysterious ghostly die clash mark. A 3-in-1 package.

It looks like the flower grew beautifully on top of the rebana.

Defects on the 1 sen coins are too easy to be found - hence makes it quite hard to find a well-struck one.

Happy collecting!

        Die clash error seems quite common, especially with our old 10 sen parliament series. This is the first specimen that I have encountered in uncirculated condition. Usually die clash marks on both obverse and reverse follow directly the mirror images of their respective opposite side. But on this specimen I notice that clash die marks happen on a rotated mirror image of their respective opposite side, as indicated on image 2. But still this coin does not possess any degree of die rotation error? Could it be the clash of the two dies happened in rotated position, then later were being altered back to its original position?

     Clashed die error and cracked die error are not too interesting especially for older coins. But something caught our eyes about the first number "one" and "nine" in the date of the coin (refer to image 3). Could it probably a Doubled Die Class IV, a Modified Hub Doubling?

   I believe so because the doubling shows as the difference between the normal hub and modified hub. Probably the earlier "19" was chiseled off from the hub because it ran off its track. This is an extract from an external source.

Modified hub doubling is caused when a normal master hub is used with a modified master hub to make a master die. Some part of the modified master hub was ground off to make it match the normal hub. During this process, not all the original item was completely ground off. One master hub could have the date set lower, so the date is ground off and it is hubbed with a normal master hub that has the date in the correct location. Since this occurs on the master hubs, a larger number of working dies could be affected. bakercoins.com

 
     Any discussion and opinions from fellow collectors are highly welcomed.

     The coin belongs to bonden.

    Could it be an unlisted SS 20 Cents 1919 Low 19/Level 19 DDR Type VII?

      I thought I have an eagle-eyes in spotting error coins, but I guess I am wrong. I missed this double errors coin! I only keep this coin as it still has luster on it, but soon after I scan it, I notice that there are some obvious die markings on its reverse. And after further inspection, the coin also has the popular extra-metal according to Malaysian coin collectors.

      At last I discovered this clashed die error coin. This is her sister, discovered by Mr. Dickson. It seems that his specimen has more obvious clashed die markings.

118. 50 sen 1981 Clashed Die Error

image 1: obverse and reverse of the coin

    This is another specimen of my die clashed error coin which I discovered recently. Die clashed error happens when both dies are struck without a planchet between them, which makes the term 'clash'. The die clashed marking can be seen in both obverse and reverse.

    Clashed die error can be found easily among our 10 sen Parliament Series, but quite scarce for other higher denominations.

    These are my other clashed die error coins.

83. Malaysia 50 Sen 1983 Die Clashed Error Obverse and Reverse

image 1: obverse and reverse of the coin

image 2: silhouettes of the coin motifs due to clashed die

    This time I really need help from my fellow collector friends. Is this a die clashed error coin, both on reverse and obverse of it? The obverse shows some sign of die clashed error, similar to common die clashed error of 10 sen parliament series, but unfortunately it is not so heavy. I suspect the faint lines is a part of the number "50" when the clash of the dies happen.  And interestingly after inspecting its reverse, I can see some faint, but visible silhouette of parliament building on the reverse, as shown in image 2.

   This is my birthday gift from my best friend. He suspected that this is a fake coin and refused to give me because he thought I am not into fake coins. If only he knew that I was longing for this coin. Hehe.

37. Malaysia 10 sen 1992 Clashed Die Error

Malaysia 10 cent 1992 Minor Error

    Hello again. It seems that error coins has been my favourite subject recently. Why not? Error coins are the most economical and rewarding for my hobby compare to collecting UNC notes or poor-grade rare RRRR notes.  And most of all, finding an error coins is a surprise! You don't know what you are going to find, and you can't expect what types of errors it will be. For sure the pieces are in minor error, but that's okay because I am an avid collector with minor budget. *wink

    Coin above is a current Malaysia 10 cent coin which has a part of congkak printed on the obverse part of the coin. I had tried to search on what type of error is this but to no avail. And plus, there are lot of striations moving inward of the coin on both sides of the coins. Is this due to weak strike?

    Someone please enlighten me what kind of error is this and how this happen? The faintest hint I have is capped die, but me myself not too sure about it. Thanks!

Answer: Clashed die.

A die clash error happens when the coin dies come together in the coining press without a planchet between them. This causes an imprint of each die to be left on the opposing die face. For example, an impression of the obverse die is left on the reverse die, and vice versa. Although the Mint usually makes an effort to clean up these marks, they are sometimes visible on the coins themselves.

a part of congkak?
