Hi,
First, I want to say, errors are not my speciality...
with that said, this is what seem to be a very errorized british palestine 10mil,
double strike, hole, and even metal composition.

Refrence: in 1942 there were 2 materials used for 10 mils.
Copper Nickel & Bronze. the CoNi was discontinued in 1943.

This coin dated 1943, but it looks like CoNi. was never produced, but I assume theoretically a 1942 planchet could slip in the batch, or more realistically mint worker play around to set the striking machine.

I never seen the coin in hand, and the owner said is actually is bronze, it just look like nickel in the picture... "shrug"

anyhow, what bother me the most more then just a hunch am getting from the picture, is all the excess material in the hole.
(look like spilled cast metal, which make me think this is cast counterfeit)

I am still not sure what the exact process The Royal Mint used to make holed coins.
(i.e, holed plachent to begin with or holed in the strike process maybe even drilled and would appreciate if any of you can enlighten me about it...

actually any information appreciated for palestine holed coins, or any other holed coins stroke in The Royal Mint. palestine or otherwise...

G'day, look at the texture of the fields: seems cast to me.
Colour difference between bronze and CuNi is hard to pick from a photo or a scan: the bright lighting makes them all look "silver".
The crud in the hole: it wouldn't surprise me if this was an artefact of casting.
The doubling on the S: interesting; I can't think of a useful thing to nsay about this.

I have recently started to collect Palestinian coins. I haven't decided yet whether to go for the full set, or just the types. I haven't bought any books on the topic. In my reading so far, I haven't stumbled over any references to errors. It seems, from the way sellers describe Palestinian coins, that every year was a "key date".

Hi, I agree it seems cast to me, much as forgeries were cast for some British West African coins. I have seen several 10 Mils 1943 and all are bronze. There are 1942 in copper-nickel and in bronze. All 1943 were bronze,I thought.

I agree. 10 Mil 1943 are 100% all bronze. The 1942 version came both. Accordingly, counterfeit.
Rest in Peace

, patersc and AJL!

Surface looks cast, green corrosion indicates copper.
