Malaysia $50 Scarce ZA Replacement Banknotes ZETI AZIZ UNC


***A rare Consecutive Pair of the ZA RM50 Replacement Banknotes bearing Zeti Aziz's signature in Uncirculated condition.
Safely, this RM50 ZA Replacement series is, indeed, the rarest banknote series bearing Zeti's signature, whether Replacement or otherwise, as it only comes in the form of ZA97xxxxx, ZA98xxxxx & ZA99xxxxx, whereby, its serial numbers actually continue from her predecessor's.
And it is also very safe to add that due to Zeti's long tenure as the Central Bank's Governor, now into her 9th year, all of her other notes, basically, do not have much in collectors' value, due to the abundance of banknotes issued, & being issued, during these 9 years that bear her signature.
Price = US$200

Malaya 1953 $100 Banknote Queen Elizabeth II Original Fine


***This $100 banknote dated 1953 must be one of the two 'Mother of All Banknotes' from the Malaya & British Borneo series, due to its scarcity in Original Unwashed, Unpressed or Untampered in-any-way condition.
An Original Uncirculated copy is, apparently, commanding a price of US$10,000 or even more; very much higher than as catalogued, especially, when one takes a peep at the laughable Krause reference!
A good reason why it is tagged with such a high price is because, basically, original UNC copies do not exist. The best one could get hold of might be a Good EF or an AUNC piece.
But I am skeptical even in the existence of an Original AUNC piece. In spite of that, so-called AUNC pieces are being offered online for sale at, of course, ridiculous sky-rocket prices & if such pieces are, indeed, Original AUNC, why would the vendors not offer them to be auctioned off at huge auction houses downsouth in Singapore, where big players will be present and such copies could bring-in very much higher prices!?!
Very plausible guess being most of these notes are low grade notes that have been chemically Washed & then, pressed flat, yielding a very thin piece of discolored, flat trash, with its embossment totally wiped off!
The note featured here today is in Original Fine condition, with all margins intact, no tears & no holes, but with grime & all signs of circulation on it. But, isn't that how a 55-year-old circulated banknote should look like?!!!

Malaysia 1999 $50 Ali Abul Hassan Side-Signature LOW SERIAL NUMBERS BJ0000299 UNC


***This is the RM50 banknote dated 1999 with the Side-Signature of Ali Abul Hassan bearing the unusually Low Serial Numbers of BJ0000299 in Uncirculated condition.
This has to be one of the most requested and eternally evergreen post-1990 Malaysian banknote and not surprisingly, it comes with only 3 prefixes of BG, BH & BJ and the BG & BJ prefixes did not come in their entirety but only partially.
As such, the quantity available, esp. in uncirculated condition is very limited and now further complicated by the deluge of demand by, not only,various collectors but also from dealers.
Definitely, a pivotal must-have banknote in any respectable Malaysian banknote collection.!

Malaysia 1995 $5 NZ Replacement Banknote Ahmad Don Thomas De La Rue UNC




*** This is the very rare & elusive $5 NZ Replacement Banknote dated 1995 that was signed by Ahmad Don and printed by Thomas De La Rue in Uncirculated condition.
Do not confuse this note with similar ones that were printed by the Canadian Banknote Co which are available in abundance and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to procure.
This banknote has to be the among the Top 3 Rarest post-1990 Replacement banknote from Malaysia, the other 2 being the RM2 ZB Replacement Banknote with Ahmad Don's signature & the RM50 ZA Replacement with the Side-Signature of Ali Abul Hassan, which, are currently selling in excess of US$450 each, but even then, you can get hold of these issues if you have the dough!
But, despite having the dough, you might not be able to get hold of the replacement banknote that is featured today as most, if not all, dealers DO NOT have this issue. Give it a try & ask around for it & see the results thereafter!
However, all catalogues have totally 'ignored' the rarity of this issue by giving it a laughable rock-bottom price and all sorts of cynical reasons have been given by collectors for this!
