Malaysia 2010 $1 AAY 0000001 To AAY 0001000 1 BRICK 1,000 PIECES



***With this brick of 1000 pieces of the new RM1 banknotes from Malaysia bearing the Prefix of AAY & the Serial Numbers of 0000001 to 0001000, I suppose I am again playing bridesmaid as by now the much coveted AAZ 0000001 to AAZ 0001000 must be safely in some collector's hands.
So, just wondering if it's okay to keep AAY 0000001 to AAY 0001000 if I can't get hold of AAZ 0000001 to AAZ 0001000, just like earlier when I have the AAC 0000001 to AAC 0001000 when I couldn't get hold of the AAA 0000001 to AAA 0001000?!
***Will Sell These If The Person Having The AAZ 0000001 to AAZ 0001000 Will Sell That To Me***

Malaysia 1995 $100 ZU Replacement Ahmad Don THOMAS DE LA RUE Good VF/About EF




***This is the $100 ZU Replacement banknote from Malaysia issued in 1995, signed by Ahmad Don & printed by Thomas De La Rue.
The price of this note is twice the price of the other variation printed by Harrison & Sons.
Of course, the most expensive of all the ZU $100 Replacement issues will be the one printed by the US Banknote as apparently only less than 30 pieces were ever printed!
Price = US$200

Malaysia 1981/83 4th Series $10 Aziz Taha Choice UNC


***A Consecutive Pair of truly original Choice Uncirculated 4th Series $10 notes from Malaysia.
Someone said that this $10 series is rarer than the 1st Series dated 1967. It does makes sense as we hardly see anyone selling this issue in choice condition online.
Actually, many so-called banknotes labelled UNC being sold online are in reality NOT UNC as proclaimed by the vendors, esp. new vendors, who know nothing about banknotes' grading & who will conveniently request that you jugde the banknotes via the miserable pictures therein provided.
I discovered that most so-called UNC banknotes from Malaysia sold online, esp. those from the 1st to 4th series are only Good EF or AU at most, because they have been badly mishandled (resulting with the edges dented and/or no longer sharp) and most often, there are also presence of light bends & very commonly, counting marks.
When looked under the light, all these imperfections can be clearly seen. In the end, most new collectors will end up having not choice banknotes, but, then, when you pay peanuts, you are bound to get monkeys!
And if you are truly an unlucky individual, then, you will get a banknote that has been chemically washed and pressed/ironed flat. Nothing is cheap, esp. online!
As such, the price of the banknotes will determine the quality of the banknotes purchased. No 2 ways about that.

Isle Of Man 1983 1 Pound TYVEK


***A rather unusual pair of the 1983 1 Pound Tyvek banknote issued by the Isle Of Man, whereby, the first piece has been well-circulated while the second consecutive piece is in UNC condition.
How did the circulated piece make its way back to the person who had the consecutive uncirculated piece?!

***1 whole brick of 1,000 pieces of the 2010's RM1 banknotes from Malaysia bearing the Serial Numbers of AAC 0000001 to AAC 0001000 in Uncirculated condition.
I suppose this brick of notes would represent the '3rd best' as after all, the first 1000 pieces for the prefixes AAA & AAB must be safely in someone's collection by now.
***Will Sell These If Someone Can Sell The AAA 1-1000 To Me***

Malaysia 2010 $1 AAA 1 STACK 100 PIECES UNC



***This is the banknote issue that has been creating a lot of waves in Malaysia curently among collectors & dealers alike.
This stack of 100 pieces of the RM1 banknotes bear the first-ever unusual triple alphabet prefix ever issued for a regular Malaysian banknote.

Certain collectors are harboring dreams of getting the first 1000 or 2000 pieces of this AAA series. Can they get their daydreams fulfilled?!
