MALAYA BRITISH ADMINISTRATION $10 1941 KING GEORGE VI 10 PIECES CONSECUTIVE GEM UNC

Once again I'm very fortunate to be able to feature this 10 pieces consecutive numbers of Malaya banknotes from the reign of King George VI 1939 - 1946 $10 in gem uncirculated condition with striking embossment on the texture of the notes. The pristine condition make it seem like it just came out from the printer Waterlow & Sons Ltd. UK. From my perspective point of view these 10 pieces of notes will easily obtain grade PMG 66epq to 67epq.

The colours of the 1940 $10 were changed in 1941 from purple (1940) to orange. The prefixes start from "A" to "J" with no "I". The orange notes start at A/83. However the purple notes (1940) preceed this from A/1 to A/82.

It is extremely hard to find even for a single piece in gem unc condition without foxing nor stains nonetheless in 10 pieces consecutive akin to striking a lottery.

Value ? MYR13,000 for PMG 66epq last transaction and estimated value for 67epq to be around MYR16,000 to MYR17,000.00.

Base on PMG population report there is one and only single piece of 1941 $10 KGVI achieved "STAR" designation from PMG with the grade 35EPQ * (Star) thus far and there are none other banknotes from Malaysia, Malaya nor Straits Settlements able to obtain Star (*) designation as at time of writing.

These notes belong to Mr.Xavier Tan from Singapore and i would like to thank him for his kindness to share with us one of his superb collection and wish him the best of luck for sending his notes to PMG for grading as this article been written.
