Coins Mania Valued Member Singapore 151 Posts	Posted 12/08/2022 05:52 am Hi all, I run into these interesting Straits Settlements 10¢ 1927 and Malaya 20¢ 1950 coins. Looks like struck 2 times. Wonder if they are genuine Mint error OR post mint induced? What your opinions? 1950 20¢ 1926 10¢ Report this Post to the Staff

My recall was Snyder had some very nice legitimate errors as some were genuine awesome world brockages but a Malaysian responder called these particular Snyder Philippine produced D/S's = bogus coins. It all comes down to a specific mint operation coming up with sufficient die press pressure where the second strike OBLITERATES the first strike - this is of course different from the 18thC and older with a conventional screwpress. This end result is possible with PARTIAL obliteration w/ screwpress D/S's. But with two coins dated 1926 & 1950. Questionable. I like that term post mint induced - rather than post mint damage <BG>. Show me another 20thC D/S with PARTIAL obliteration? It may be possible with some third world coinage mints? There interesting even if in the end being bogus.
