Coins Mania Valued Member Singapore 111 Posts	Posted 12/08/2022 08:49 am Hi all, Could anyone confirm my suspicion that this 1927 Straits Settlements King George V Silver 10¢ coin was struck in the 1916 1/4¢ Bronze instead? Thus, an error coin. Or is it just pure counterfeit? The coin obverse and reverse: The coin weighs 2.3g on my scale And Diameter is 18mm Stacking the aforesaid coin with the 1916 1/4¢ Bronze for a close comparison. The thickness of the 1927 supposing Bronze 10¢ is more in line with the 1916 Bronze 1/4¢ Report this Post to the Staff

colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 12/08/2022 5:04 pm A wrong planchet error is exactly what the name indicates - a coin struck on a planchet intended for another denomination (domestic or foreign). The incorrect planchet may have the same composition (e.g. a quarter struck on a dime planchet) or it may be a different composition (e.g., a quarter struck on a nickel planchet). An off-metal error is a coin struck on a planchet whose composition does not match the composition that normally characterizes the coin. While off-metal errors can be wrong planchet errors, this is not always the case. For example, a dime struck on a copper core is off-metal but is not really a wrong planchet. What does your DIGITAL micrometer read as the thickness? John Lorenzo Numismatist Report this Post to the Staff
David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1420 Posts	Posted 12/08/2022 8:13 pm I'm more interested in the edge image. It doesn't look like a solid brass coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Boguss Pillar of the Community United States 629 Posts	Posted 12/08/2022 8:36 pm It looks cast to me. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1482 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 4:54 pm I collect counterfeits from whatever countries I can. Some locations never seem to be found, while others appear more frequently. Malaya, Malaya & British Borneo and Straits Settlements are included among those that have crossed my desk a number of times. Report this Post to the Staff
