sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 01:25 am An interesting thought came to mind: Dies are made out of hardened steel. If not stored properly, rust MAY have been able to gain a slight start. I might be worth examining latter day restrikes for any sign of rust impressions on those restrikes. Just a thought.

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 05:37 am The article in McDonald's says that all the Australian restrikes showed die polish lines. I don't know if they had rust impressions but I believe at least some of the Bombay restrikes have rust impressions. Report this Post to the Staff
Eric Valued Member Australia 222 Posts	Posted 04/29/2014 01:49 am These mules were (most likely) not restruck. If they were, we'd know about them. More importantly, they'd be brand spanking new and not worn. Edited by Eric 04/29/2014 01:49 am Report this Post to the Staff

chang New Member Malaysia 13 Posts	Posted 08/04/2020 03:49 am I found a rather unusual 1916 mule or forgery with Queen Victoria's effigy rather the Edwards head. It has reeded edge and weight 2.73g. Normal weight is 2.33g. Has anyone seen this variety before ?. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/04/2020 07:41 am Although this post is slightly aside, it is possible that chang's coin is not a forgery or a mule. I have seen a square Straits Settlements *1/3* Cent, dated 1816, with an obverse image of Victoria, and also a round Straits Settlements *3/4* Cent, dated 1820, with an obverse image of Victoria, both of which seem be be very obviously privately made fantasy coins. Chang's coin needs further investigation; it may? have the same source of manufacture Report this Post to the Staff
