Malaysia 1971 20 Sen NGC MS 66

***Of course, when one sends a coin to NGC to be slabbed, one always hope to get at least MS67 or the all-coveted MS68 for a coin with a business strike & in this aspect, MS66 is truly a big disappointment even though the coin looks truly BU.
This coin has a total mintage of almost 10 million and that's a freaking huge mintage and compared to its 10 sen cousin of the same year, which has a total mintage of only a mere 33,000 pieces, these 10 million sure sound & look colossal and certainly will never fall under the scarce category.
So why send it to be slabbed as the costs for doing so is actually higher than the numismatic value of the coin itself?
Maybe, perhaps, NGC belongs to one's father or grandfather.

Malaysia 1978 20 Sen Coin NGC MS 64

***A real disappointment when this very beautiful coin came back only with a 64 but then, it could be a blessing in disguise for it could have been graded as "AU Details."
A freaking 64 is definitely better than a lousy 63 as many folks have gloated high & low even when they got a mere 63.
Anyway, the infamous & unreliable grapevine has it that someone in Malaysia is going to open a numismatic grading company but the problem its address could not be confirmed yet.
If this coin were to be graded locally, it would in most likelihood be graded as MS 69 or even possibly, MS 70......

Malaysia 1970 20 Sen Coin NGC MS65

***And whoever sent this coin to NGC for slabbing is, let's repeat, not only an asshole but must be a great imbecile with extra dough to throw around for the Malaysian 20 sen coin dated 1970 is not a scarce or rare coin so-to-speak, as it has a rather huge mintage of more than 1,000,000 pieces.
Why then the dunguistic action taken by this clown for having had this coin slabbed?
This clown should know that the RAREST Malaysian coin is none other than the all famous but very rare as well as scarce one in the form of the 10 sen coin struck in year 1971 because it only has a mintage of roughly around 32,000 pieces and one doesn't need to be a young Einstein to know that with 32,000 pieces officially, this 1971 10 sen is, indeed, the rarest mother of all Malaysian coins and as such, should any Malaysian coin that deserves to be sent for slabbing, it should be or rather MUST be this 1971 10 sen coin.
Yes, let hail & hail again to this 10 sen copper-nickel piece so uniquely struck in year 1971!
Yes, indeed, the 10 sen coin dated 1971 is the rarest father of all Malaysian coins and there are none others that can come close to it!

Malaysia 1982 $1 Keydate Coin

***Even though the 1981 Malaysian $1 coin was minted in two hundred thousands, yet, it is a coin which carris the 'keydate' tag as most Malaysian numis enthusiasts would like to have a piece in their albums.

And, of course, I have yet to see 1 piece in BU condition, yet I know that a BU one does exist and would definitely command a price very much higher than all the various numismatic catalogues put together.

For those who have the BU ones, sure, they have all the right to crow about what they have, after all, there is no harm crowing like a rooster once in a blue moon.....

Malaysia 1983 10 Sen Coin Brilliant Uncirculated

***And from the monetary vault of low-profile Datuk Raymond Chang, here comes the common Malaysian 10 Sen coin dated 1983 but in golden-toned lustrous Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

Vis-a-vis the 1971 10 Sen coin issue, the 1983 one seems to belong to the usual big mintage group but trying to look for a nicely struck one in BU condition is not easy, esp. if it carries a golden lustrous patina. Most, if not all of the 1971 10 Sen coins are in BU condition; try looking for a few in VF condition and see, if you can get any.
The motto among many Pakar Numis' today seems to be to accumulate as many as possible the nice BU Parliament Series. It's not that these Pakar Numis' want to ignore the Hibiscus series but how many of these Hibiscus coins are actually in BU condition, tell me?

Malaysia 1979 50 Cents With Extra Dot Brilliant Uncirculated

***Of course, by now you all should know that this variety of the 1979 Malaysian 50 Sen coin that has an extra Dot at the bottom of the Parliament House was discovered by none other than our highly esteemed friend, Pakar Numis Malaysia, Steven Tan.

Actually, there are tonnes of this coin around, esp. those in Fine or VF conditions, & many more that have been chemically cleaned & which some collectors proudly claimed to be 'EF' or even 'AU!'

What we desire most today will be those in BU condition, which are never easy to find and never cheap to acquire obviously.

Here is a nice specimen thats worth gloating about to those who like this so-called 'Extra Dot' variety or rather those who like dot or dots on the Malaysian coins.

However, just because of this 1979 variety, I have noticed that many amateur collectors have been very busy getting down & looking for so-called 'dots' for the Hibiscus series & believe it or not, some even proclaimed that they have discovered those with not just 1 dot but oh God, 2 'dots'.....Good luck to these pioneering folks who are obviously 'dots hunting'....

Malaysia 1973 1 Sen Brilliant Uncirculated

***Besides the 1976 Malaysian 1 Sen coins which were struck in 2 different metal planchets, the 1973 1 sen coins too were struck in 2 variations, ie, copper & copper-clad steel planchets, with the latter being magnet friendly.

Of course, by, now, every Tom, Dick & Harry know that the 1 Sen 1976 copper can command more than RM3 grand a piece, which means in terms of weight, this coin costs more than its weight in gold & as usual, if anything sounds too good to be true, most probably, it is!

I still prefer to stick to gold as after all, gold is forever! Of course, the fairer sex would prefer diamonds, I am told.

And of course, people can claim that there are ONLY roughly 100 pieces of this copper variation being available & but how accurate can that be?!

Even the leading Malaysian numismatic catalogue makes no reference as to its presumed quantity & never gave a reference price to this particular coin struck in copper.

If 100 pieces is something to really, really, really, really, really gloat about, what about the Malaysian commemorative proof gold coins which only had 150 pieces struck?

Shouldn't these gold coins cost more than RM8 grand a piece if a miserable 1 sen copper with a presumed quantity of 100 pieces is commanding more than RM3 grand?

After all, how much does an oz of gold costs vis-a-vis copper you tell me? Every dungu knows how much gold costs today compared to copper!

Anyway, you folks don't have to break your balls for you can own a set of these 1973 Malaysian 1 sen coins also struck in both copper & copper-clad steel in Brilliant Uncirculated condition for just a miserable RM47, postage already thrown in.
I have several sets of these 1973 ones in very sassy BU condition for sale, do contact me if you want any & you can, thus,now join the league of collectors collecting high grade Malaysian 1 sen coins!

Malaysia 1971 10 Sen LOWEST MINTAGE BU

***This 10 sen coin in BU condition struck in 1971 must be the most unusual Malaysian coin ever minted.

Only slightly more than 32,000 pieces were ever struck for this issue bearing the year 1971.

All sorts of stories have been told as to why only so few coins were ever struck for this 10 sen issue.

Other denominations bearing the same 1971 year were struck in millions.

Price = RM210
