NGC Identifies 2 New Malaysia Doubled Die Varieties
Posted on 10/14/2014
This month NGC has added two new Malaysian doubled dies to its list of recognized varieties. The first is a 1980 Sen with a doubled die obverse. The doubling is the strongest on the denomination, the date, and the Hibiscus flowers to the right of the date.

The second coin is also an obverse doubled die. This time it is on a 2008 5 Sen. The doubling is rotated and very strong on nearly all of the devices. It is very reminiscent of the highly prominent doubling on the United States 1955 Doubled Die Obverse Cent.
