COLLECTORS HUNT 2012 MALAYSIA 12TH SERIES PREMIUM SET OF 6

The folder contains all the new denominations  from RM1 to RM100 with the same prefix and serial numbers.

It is about time for Malaysia 12th series Premium set to rise and you better get it now if you hasn't. By now everyone knows Bank Negara governor Zeti Aziz will not renew her contract after her term end in April 2016.

This set is the cheapest and most valuable and will be the last commemorative banknotes under Zeti with mintage of just 50,000 sets issued under her tenure as governor of BNM and has been on "hibernating' mode for long time since it was issued. Many banknotes traders and collectors are quietly accumulating this set under the radar since Zeti's announcement. 

Today 11th Dec 2015, this set could still be found available on Ebay Malaysia for MYR400.00 not far from it's issue price of MYR300.00. I believe MYR400.00 will not last for long.

Malaysia banknotes have significant interest from collectors from mainland China and Singapore and with the drastic drop in MYR currency this "Premium set" are too attractive for the foreign collectors to collect or to hoard !

Happy hunting.

TRIGOMETRIC AUCTION 15TH MARCH 2015 - SURPRISES AND DISSAPOINTMENTS

With the recent concluded Trigometric auction there were many surprises where those you dont expect were making staggering realized price. And those hot items where you expect making new highs were left under perform.

There are many blogs/websites had reported about several big notes and 2 pieces of 1953 QE II coins ended with hundreds of thousands of Ringgit Malaysia (RM) realized price and by now everyone knew about these amazing achievements.

Therefore i chose not to repeat on blogging about them otherwise my article may sound similar like "copy and paste".  So i chose to write about those lacklustre items that once consider as laggards but now had sprung to life with remarkable realized prices.

Realized price RM1800 + 15% (BP)

Realized price RM1500 + 15% (BP) for 2pcs

Begining of 2014 these 12th series RM50 Zeti Aziz (with Merdeka Logo on the back) were selling for RM80.00 per piece.

Realized price RM800 + 15% (BP) "low number"

Once upon a time this replacement note ZAC was selling for RM15.00 per piece (for normal S/N).

Realized price RM8000 + 15% (BP). Ali Abul Hassan side signature

Realized price RM900 + 15% (BP). 1972 RM10 Ismail Ali 2nd series.

Realized price RM2700 + 15% (BP) for 2pcs. 5th series Aziz Taha

During the 1st quarter of 2014 these were selling for a mere RM500 each (UNC ungraded).

The appreciation of this proof TAR coin is unbelievable and i'm at the loss of words.

Realized price RM11,000 + 15% (BP). 50 Dollars 1 Jan 1942, King George VI, (KNB14:P14), Serial no. A/12 32846 ageing, stain, VF

Realized price RM2000 + 15% (BP). 50 Dollars 21 March 1953, Queen Elizabeth II, (KNB4a:P4a) Serial no. A/9 572854 With stain GVF

It is about time collectors starts to realize that King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth banknotes are laggards and has been asleep for a very long time since their peak in 2007-2008.

Happy collecting.

MALAYA 1942 KGVI AND MALAYSIA 2001 RM5 ZETI "ZA" REPLACEMENT NOTE

Buying opportunity arises during the recent stock exchange crash due to the international oil price plunge to USD58 per barrel (as at time of writing). Numismatics are tied to the share market and once the share market crashed everyone lose confident on the economy and are scared to spend money coupled with some losses in the stock market.

Speculators are selling to make ends meet so the same goes to some weak collectors are disposing and there is where good items comes out. Then the "smart money" emerge to grab them.

I managed to purchase some good items recently.

Malaya 1942 $50 KGVI in original VF condition, unwash, unpress and uncrop.

This piece of banknote Malaya 1942 $50 KGVI in its original condition was a good find. There are plenty of "washed and pressed" of these notes in the market where i often came across. And i rejected them because once washed the blue color ink were smeared on the side of the note and make the note look bluish instead of the original beige color.

2001 RM5 Zeti Aziz "ZA" replacement papermoney banknotes

I bought a stack of 100pcs run of 2001 RM5 Zeti Aziz 11th series "ZA" replacement notes. The reason i bought this stack as it was the last RM5 papermoney before it was replaced by RM5 polymer notes.  This series "ZA" is very hot item and you couldn't buy in stack during the peak.

I also found and bought half a stack 50pcs run of Malaysia 1981 RM1 Aziz Taha "Blindman" 5th series of "BA" replacement notes. This series are very popular among the collectors. I apologize i have forgotten to snap some pictures before i've sent all of them to PMG for grading as i was overwhelm by excitement.

Happy reading.
