I need to know how to find out the potential value of a dime not just stamped on a foreign planchet but a foreign cent that's already been stamped.  |

1995 Singapore on your coin are incuse. I think an one cent Singapore was press over the 10 cent. The 10 cent Canada will not fit full design on 1 cent Singapore I have to see if the RCM struck for Singapore in 1995. Probably some one will chime on. What it is the weight and the diameter?

10 cents was the overstrike. Interesting.
As for value......unpredictable.....but north of 1k or I would eat it.

Very interesting! It looks legit however there is no indication the RCM ever struck 1-cent coins for Singapore. See link below although it might not be complete...could have been someone having fun at the mint. http://www.coinscan.com/for/sin.html |

So an RCM employee had an already-struck Singapore 1 cent and then fed it in to be struck by Canadian 10 c dies without the collar engaged? |

Something about it doesn't look right.
I'd say soft die fabrication.
May be wrong.
Will wait for the expert to chime in.

to the CCF We need the weight and diameter to verify. It might just be me but something doesn't seem right.

The Singapore cent is 15.9mm diameter and the dime is 18.03mm. We discuss of about 2.13 mm difference which it is to much to have all dime design. The the weight: Singapore is 1.54gr cooper plated zinc and thick 1.1 mm. The dime press was put to strike for Nickel planchet at a thickness of 1.25 mm. .15 mm difference in strike will give a very weak strike. My opinion. Also an simple XRF will tell, zinc is zinc and nickel is nickel.

A Singapore cent would fit nicely into the collar of a 10-cent die Silviosi. In fact, without the collar die in contact with the entire planchet, and if a thicker host planchet, it would expand out nicely. Look at Canadian 25c struck on Cu-Ni 5-cent planchets, as examples. Zimmy has posted one example of a Canadian 1c struck over a foreign coin, on a copper-plated planchet: http://goccf.com/t/195006I believe Zonad has a nice 5c overstruck on a foreign copper-plated coin (Barbados?) as well. Sean Isaacs (Alliance Coin and Banknotes) has a 1992 loon dollar overstruck on a Bangladesh Taka. I have a Brazilian coin overstruck on a 1971 Canadian 1-cent. So while quite scarce, these errors do happen. A photo of the edge would be most helpful. Is it reeded all the way around? I noticed that you are in the US, so this definitely did not come in loose change. Did you acquire it from an error dealer?

SPP, Yes could happened, by the examples you give. If no mint employee it is involve, this kind of coins has .001% to be legitim. This coin in this topic is an overstruck. If no one from mint do not put a already struck coin back on the line then it is impossible to be an overstruck. Yes could happened to strike coins on foreign planchet but not overstrikes, and this happened. In 1995 if I am nor wrong was the German line S-Roll, now is B-roll. S come from single. So was three intervenient: one before the press to insure the correct flow of the planchets , the press operator and after the quality operator. So one of them put there an Singapore cent or maybe more. I see the tread you link, and I know very well the debate at TPG before to be certified. Pass because was not US coin, if was US coin was confiscated by the Agency. |
