THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF MALAYSIA-CHINA DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS

Today 27th June 2014 is the issuance day of the THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF MALAYSIA-CHINA DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS coins.

And Malaysian collectors are a crazy bunch of fanatic collectors. They have started to queue at Bank Negara Malaysia Penang Branch since yesterday (26th June) 3.00pm in the afternoon and the BNM open for business at 9.00am today morning, that mean they have queued for some 30hours, can you believe it ?

I couldn't find any words best describe these types of collectors, perhaps you could call them fanatics, insane or "mat rempits collectors".

I reached BNM this morning at 8.30am just to have a feel of the atmosphere and to meet up with some friends there but i knew i couldn't have the chance to buy anything.

The scene from BNM Penang branch this morning 8.30am.

THE STAR newspaper 28th June 2014.

These are crazy bunch of Malaysian collectors queuing  patiently under the hot sun of 36% celsius for hours and eighty percent were left with disappointment when the stocks ran out by 10.30am.

Set of 3 mintage 750sets

Set of 2 mintage 750sets

Single Gold mintage 500piece

Single Silver mintage 2000pieces

Nordic Gold mintage 25,000pieces

Many of these sets (half of its mintage) were brought to China and presented as a gift to the chinese government by our Malaysian delegates to commemorate the 40th anniversary Malaysia China bilateral ties on 30th May 2014. Therefore only half of its mintages were available for our domestics numismatics markets hence the supply were not sufficient for the hungry collectors.

Happy Reading !

THE RETURN OF 1989 JAFFAR HUSSEIN "UZ" REPLACEMENT BANKNOTES AND 1961 $10 MALAYA & BRITISH BORNEO PAIR

I'm delighted with the high grade given by PMG to my 1989 Jaffar Hussein "UZ" replacement banknotes of 4pcs PMG 66epq and 1piece PMG 65epq however i'm disappointed with the grade received for the Red Buffalo pair of PMG 55 only.

I have sold the Red Buffalo pair immediately when the grades were known when the notes itself were still in PMG office in the United States the same goes to the "UZ" pair of 65epq and 66epq, this is how hot these banknotes are.

The mintage of "UZ" are believe to be no more than 40,000 pieces were issued during the reign of Jaffar Hussein.

3pieces consecutive numbers UZ0026642, UZ0026643, UZ0026644 grade 66EPQ.

2pieces consecutive numbers UZ0026638, UZ0026639 grade 65EPQ & 66EPQ respectively.

Myself and a preserved buffalo. This picture was recently taken at Taiping's newly renovated museum.

MALAYSIA 2007 / 2008 12TH SERIES RM50 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF INDEPENDENCE LOW NUMBER 4 ZEROES 2 PIECES

I just received my another piece of RM50 50th Anniversary of Independence (Merdeka Goldline) back from PMG and was delighted to receive grade 67epq  prefix AA 0000 81 0 (technically speaking it has 5 zeroes). Hence i have 2 pieces of 4 zeroes in my collection now with AA 0000 92 0.

Currently the Merdeka Goldline is one of the hottest and most sought after by collectors and the price are surging due to its limited mintage of 20,000 pieces issued only.

Just about a month back a prominent numismatics dealer from Singapore bought 100 pieces in consecutive numbers of 2 zeroes AA00xxxxx of Merdeka Goline from a dealer in Penang who is also my good friend for MYR120,000.00 or equivalent to MYR1200.00 a piece, when this news broke out it sent the price sky rocketing. Many numismatics dealers believe there are still plenty of rooms for it to rise.

If you compare with the 1999 RM1 Ali Abul Hassan prefix "CR" with 50,000.00 pieces it has risen to RM8500.00 for grade 67epq then how much can Merdeka Goldline of 20,000.00 pieces can rise ?

Let's do some mathematics calculation, the "CR" mintage is 150 % (percent) more than the Merdeka Goldline that mean the price of "CR" is RM8500 + 150% (RM12,750) = RM21.250.00 each for Merdeka Goldline 67epq.

Let's keep our finger crossed for it to happen.

Serial number AA0000810 & AA0000920 low number
