Wrong planchet and off-metal errors: 

Struck on larger planchet or coin, Malaysian

“assisted errors” 2005-2007

Definition: Assisted errors are undoubtedly a major headache for mint management teams. Simply put, these errors are created by enterprising mint employees and smuggled out of the facility. Despite the intentional nature of these errors, they are highly sought after and quite collectible.

The Malaysian mint accounts for a great variety of assisted errors during the years 2005 to 2007.

A 2005 Malaysian 10 sen struck on larger 20 sen planchet.

A 2006 Malaysian 20 sen struck on larger 50 sen planchet.

Same denomination, different year. A 2005 die-struck Malaysian 50 sen over-struck by 2007 50 sen dies.

Double denomination. Die-struck Malaysian 50 sen over-struck by 20 sen dies.

A 2005 Malaysian 10 sen obverse die muled with 1 sen reverse die. A mis-match of obverse and reverse dies of different denominations.

Flip-over, triple-strike with three full dates on a Malaysian 10 sen coin. Given the near perfect symmetry of this triple-strike and three full dates, (one on each of the three separate strikes), it would seem to have required some help. Likely, it is an assisted error.
