There are two variety found within the stack, that is "solid thread" and "broken thread". The broken thread variety can be found in every denomination from the 1st series to the 4th series only, however KN Boon catalogue did not mention about these varieties. Whereas for PMG and Krausse World Paper Money book both recognized the variety and label it as PICK # 3b for "broken thread" and PICK # 3a for "solid thread".
There are 30 "broken thread" variety found in this stack out of 100pieces.
This stack is original and have never been washed nor pressed before. The prefix is from B/62 464601 - B/62 464700.

MALAYSIA 1967 RM1 1ST SERIES ISMAIL ALI STACK
From the earlier post i did not mention about the broken thread variety found in this stack of RM1 of 100pieces consecutive numbers. There are 28 pieces of broken thread variety found within the stack and was labeled as PICK # 1b by PMG. It is already on its way back to me after grading and i'm eagerly waiting for its arrival on 7th April 2014 by FEDEX.
Happy Viewing !
Are broken thread more valuable than the normal security thread
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYes of course broken thread are rarer hence more expensive than the solid thread.

ReplyDeleteHello there,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this useful information.
Can I check with you what causes to have solid and broken threads? Is it on purpose by the printer company?
It sounds to me that they come randomly in a stack of such money.
Thank you!
Best regards,
New collector
