Art Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 That's a great coin. We had a dealer at the last show who had a bunch of Straits Settlement stuff. Strangely enough he was telling me that a lot of the Straits Settlement coins floating around today are counterfeits. Even the coppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While little escapes the forgers arts, I very much doubt that the Straits Settlements stuff has been particularly singled out for heavy production in lieu of any other country.
