In the last two weeks I had removed all my World & USA multi-struck error coins from storage to photo and start specialized threads on both CCF forums...
I will admit that multi-struck coins are one of my favorite error types, and wanted to share my errors with others on this site, and would also like others to share their photos...
I am requesting only double & multiple struck error coins be posted in both threads...
The USA thread has some 157 photos and is posted by date, where-as the World error thread has 242 photos and is posted by Country of Origin...
Both threads will be time consuming, and for the error coin lover, should be worth the time spent viewing this, and I eagerly await viewing other members photos.
I am also thinking of starting other threads for single strike off centers, Indents, brockage errors, wrong planchet errors, etc., and if another member would like to start up any of those threads, please advise and I could post my errors in their thread...
Should anyone find a favorite photo they like in either thread, you have my permission to use the photo for your CCF Avatar (all 399 photos were taken by myself)...
And finally, all my photos are high resolution on my computer, and some loss of resolution may be lost with the uploads to photobucket, then posted here... I mention this should someone want to make a "free access" website for both error coins and currency, I could email the high resolution photos to who-ever is up to the challenge of starting such a site...

***2000 - 5 Rupees ~ (4 photos) ~ I am going to call this a in-collar brockage on 2nd strike as the brockage is over a previous strike, and honestly I have never seen this type of error and if Mike Diamond viewes this, he can give some input as to what type of error this is***
[N/D] - 5 Rupees ~ double struck ~ (2 photos)
***[N/D] - 5 Rupees ~ (3 photos) ~ here is another error that Mike Diamond can give his opinion on as it is a double indent on one side, and strong strike on the other side. Since I don't know what side is the Obverse or Reverse, and never seen this type of error, it may not be a in-collar double strike***

Malaysia
2005 - Double denomination ~ 10 Sen struck over 20 Sen (in-house error) ~ (4 photos)
2006 - 20 Sen ~ This piece looks to be struck some 2 dozen times, and photo #4 (when clicked on) displays the extreemly close staggered strikes. ~ (5 photos)
2007 - 50 Sen ~ {5 photos} ~ Here is another in-house (made to order) flipover quad struck with all four strikes struck at 90 degrees from one another. In my opinion these coins are nice, but seem to take away from the genuine errors, like the 20 Sen above.
On the edge view, I was surprised to see the edge lettering, and this tells me that the edge lettering must be a seperate strike prior to striking the coin, and I'm open to other opinions on this.

[unknown date] - Ten Cash ~ double struck ~ (3 photos)
[ Like the Philippines coins above that were struck with two different sets of dies, these Dollar size coins also had been struck with different dies. The seller claims to have moved from China to the U.S. and also claimed that her Grandfather had been employed at the mint where these came from and the test bars are also genuine. ]
[while I have my doubts, I ask myself if these are genuine or did I get taken for around $500.00 some ten years back, and really don't know, and after removing these from long term storage to post here, I tested everything with a super strong magnet and nothing stuck]

1642 - Solidus ~ double struck ! ~ it is the opinion of this poster that these coins were minted in multiples on sheet stock, with side "A" mis-aligned with side "B", then punched out individualy, thus displaying what looks like a double strike on one side only. ~ (3 photos)
