In the liquefaction of a sub-bituminous and/or lignitic coal, an ash containing coal liquid is heated to a temperature of from 410.degree. C. to 450.degree. C., and delayed coked adiabatically at a pressure of from 15 psig to 120 psig to produce an ash containing soft coke, having a volatile matter content of above 16% and generally no greater than 30%, all by weight, which is particularly suitable as a blending stock for the production of metallurgical coke.
