mattkasmani New Member Singapore 25 Posts	Posted 10/06/2012 08:06 am This is a 1916 Straits Settlements 1/4 cents. I need to know whether this is an error coin. Thanks you. Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 10/06/2012 4:03 pm What a tragedy ! It looks like intentional post mint damage to me - I've achieved a similar effect on (worthless) bronze and cupro-nickel coins using a metal lathe. This coin might have been worthless at the time, of course. Report this Post to the Staff
mattkasmani New Member Singapore 25 Posts	Posted 10/06/2012 4:26 pm Hi Pertinax. Thanks for your input. I believe it was intentional damage too. I think the mint might have done some mistake while minting the coin and the Quality Inspector could have rejected for quality issues. Do you think people will buy this if I sell it on ebay?

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 10/06/2012 7:12 pm Even so, the reverse is still lovely. I'm a fan of Straits Settlements coins and there must be others, too. It would look nice mounted in a frame. I don't think you'll get much, but I think it would sell. Report this Post to the Staff
